The Mars Area School District is continuing with work at the Elementary School including plans for playground equipment while considering a renovation at the Centennial School.
A representative of Snider Recreation presented information about two new playground areas planned for the Elementary. After receiving feedback from administrators, the unique climbing and play equipment and two sets of six swings along with installation and safe surfacing is expected to cost nearly $325,000 although there are some cost-saving options. The board is expected to decide on this proposal at their meeting next month.
Representatives of Thomas and Williamson also presented updates on the Elementary project to the Mars School board.
The work that took place last month at the Mars Area Elementary school includes excavating and site grading on a storm water retention pond and parent drop off area, as well as pouring concrete footers for a canopy. Moving forward, site work will continue with mobilizing a crane for structural steel.
Project managers have started meeting with the architect of the Centennial project with preliminary drawings completed and a presentation to the board expected in January.
