Estimate given for new JHS facility

The Jefferson High School Board of Trustees were given three options to address a host of facility issues, with the most expensive being a new school, estimated at $19.2 million for construction alone, according to Jason Davis, principal/partner with SMA Architects.

Other options included additions and renovations of the existing building, estimated between $4.4 to $6 million, depending on the extent of the project, according to Davis.

Those estimates did not include “soft” costs, land or infrastructure, according to Davis.
