Lindbergh High School Modernization 2022-2024

Construction of the new entryway, along with demolition of Lincoln House in preparation for new science labs, and some underground utilities began in the summer of 2022. This phase continued into the school year, but the most disruptive work was completed when the time students were off-campus.

With this phases completion, the new entrance is providing much needed security at Lindbergh, as anyone entering the school now passes through an entrance that is under observation by school staff. The principal’s office and other administrative offices were relocated to the first floor near the main entry. Also included in this phase of construction were improvements and upgrades to the school’s boiler system.

Placement of equipment and materials during construction
Throughout the various construction phases, staged construction materials and equipment had to be located on school grounds. The areas required for this had to shift as construction progressed, and students and staff were notified as changes were made. All of this work was done to assure that ample room for Lindbergh student and staff parking were maintained during school days.

While some of this construction work can be accomplished in the summer, the scope of the project requires that construction had to occur while school is in session.

Our construction partners have extensive experience in completing construction projects while minimizing the effects on students and staff to allow for minimal interruption to the teaching & learning process. Thorough planning of the construction timeline and phases are very helpful in minimizing disruptions.

The Capital Planning & Construction department have a project manager assigned throughout this project to quickly work through any concerns or issues identified by the students and staff at the school.

• Safety: We work to ensure students, families, and staff are clear on parking lot, walkway, and interior school changes and procedures necessary during construction in occupied schools and facilities. We post 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 minimized to a certain degree with construction protocols. We also work to schedule loud construction activities 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 minimal harmful impacts.
