Construction To Begin On New, $92M Guilford High School This July

This summer, construction is slated to begin on the new, $92 million Guilford High School.

The new school will be located where the existing school is. And as construction begins this summer, the work will effect parking and access to the school and some of its recreational fields.

Below is a press release from Guilford Public Schools with specifics: 

"Please note that construction activities will be starting around and behind Guilford HS this summer, limiting access to some fields (synthetic Fields 1 and 2, Maturo) and stopping use of baseball fields. 

Work will begin with the gas line relocation behind the school (near cafeteria and southern portion of the tennis parking lot) at the end of June or first week of July. By the end of July there will be contractors all around the building; installing a temporary roadway on the west side of the school, new parking areas in front of the school, east of the school and behind the school , and fencing off the baseball and general purpose fields for the construction area for the new school.

There will be no more car access behind the school after July 1, and limited access on the west side of the building after July 15.

The tennis court parking area will remain open through July and August; however there will be an increase in construction traffic beginning in July and all of the lower parking stalls will be closed off on July 15. A limited area of new parking for tennis court use will be constructed east of the tennis courts in the beginning of September, at that time the existing tennis court parking area will be closed for the duration of the construction project. This will become the primary entrance and exit for all construction traffic.

We regret the inconvenience. We appreciate your cooperation. It is for the safety of all that we must restrict access to the construction work areas."
