Lindbergh High School Modernization 2022-2024

This summer, we’ll begin construction of the new entryway, along with demolition of Lincoln House in preparation for new science labs, and some underground utilities. This phase will continue into the school year, but the most disruptive work is planned for the time students are off-campus.

When the phase is complete, the new entrance will provide much needed security at Lindbergh, as anyone entering the school will pass through an entrance manned by staff. The principal’s office and other administrative offices will be moved to the first floor at the entryway. Also included in this phase of construction is improvements and upgrades to the school’s boiler system.

Placement of equipment and materials during construction
Throughout the various construction projects, we’ll need to stage construction materials and equipment on school grounds. The areas required for this will shift as construction progresses, and students and staff will be notified, and signage will be installed. There will still be ample room for Lindbergh student and staff parking during school days.

While some of this construction work can be accomplished in the summer, the extent of the projects clearly mean that construction will continue as school is in session.

Our construction partners have extensive experience in completing construction projects while minimizing the effects on students and staff to maintain as much normalcy as possible. Planning the timeline and phases of the construction process will help diminish disruptions.

Our district construction department will have a team member assigned throughout this project to quickly work through any concerns/issues brought through students and staff to the principal.

• Safety: We’ll work to ensure students, families, and staff are clear on parking lot, walkway, and interior school changes and procedures necessary during construction. We’ll post adequate signage on school grounds and install highly visible signs and barriers around construction zones to prevent students from entering certain areas.
• Noise: Loud noises during construction are unavoidable, and they can substantially interfere with students’ ability to concentrate, especially for those with sensory challenges. Noise can be quieted to a certain degree with construction protocols, such as installing temporary sound-absorbing barriers and using newer equipment that operates more quietly. We’ll also work to schedule as much noise-causing construction at times and places that have the lowest amount of disruption.
• Environmental Disturbances: Construction can also result in other environmental disturbances, such as smells and dust. Our construction partners take precautions to mitigate these factors and ensure no harmful impacts.
