Orcas School administration has narrowed it down to two.

After looking at three options designed by Mahlum Architects, it has settled on two potential construction plans for renovating the middle school, library, cafeteria and more.

The improvements will be paid for by a voter-approved $11.9 million bond.

“Option B” proposes a new music room in back of the old gym, utilizing the existing stage; redo the cafeteria and kitchen and building a culinary arts room; the current middle school would become the library and the old library would be converted to the middle school.

“Option C” calls for most of the same changes, but the middle school would be built onto the back of the elementary school and the library would be turned into admin and OASIS rooms. The new library would be in the old middle school classrooms.

The designing process will take until this October. Permitting and bidding will happen in November and December. Construction will start in the beginning of 2014.

The bond is for 20 years and the terms are 26 cents per thousand. Voters also approved a two-year general technology capital projects levy. The levy, which is $.06 per $1,000 assessed value, will pay for modernizing the school’s technology facilities.

The next meeting with Mahlum and the school district is scheduled for March 14 at 4:30 p.m. in the school library.
