This spring, Elmira City School District residents voted yes to a $68 million 2020 Capital Improvement Project and $8.75 million Energy Performance Contract Project. As we keep moving forward, this project represents the District’s continued investment in our facilities and the opportunity to experience savings to the District through future energy efficiencies.
To promote our physical education and athletic programs, the District is building a new athletic complex at Elmira High School, including a new turf field, track replacement, new bleachers, scoreboards, bathrooms and sound system.
The concern of soil contamination at Elmira High School (and specifically the football field) will be addressed with state-regulated site remediation. After several studies conducted by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) the NYS Department of Health, Elmira CSD has reached a $7.5 million settlement with the site’s previous owner Unisys Corporation to fund the restoration of the High School stadium after the site remediation. Following the cleanup, the District will be left with a clean-slate to build the new athletic complex.
The architectural renderings below, created by HUNT Engineers, Architects & Surveyors, are mock-ups of what the complex will look like upon completion. The targeted completion for this project is 2022.
