The new Perham High School being planned to be located in Perham, MN will include a gymnasium with locker rooms, full service kitchen, commons spaces, classrooms, fine arts area, administration offices, wrestling & weights area, media center, an adjacent satellite building for the STEM trades and is being planned for potential future additions of a theater & an academic addition. The greenhouse from the current high school site is planned to be relocated to the new site.
For school start of 2018.
The operation costs of the new school will not change greatly for the District. The new school will be larger, but also more efficient so the anticipated impact is negligible or possibly even less costly to operate on a utility basis.
The new High School is designed with growth in mind. The core functions of the building are built to accommodate and approximate increase of an additional 100 students and the classroom wing is designed to be able to have additions built easily when they are required.
The current athletic and activity amenities including the football field, track, tennis courts, etc. will remain in their current locations. New physical education and athletic areas in the form of new gymnasium space, weights and fitness space, and associated locker rooms, etc. are included in the new building.
There is no concrete way to calculate the economic impact of the new High School. We are optimistic the building will attract and retain families within our district which we hope delivers positive impact on the economic development of the city.
In conjunction with the Community Task Force, a firm that specializes in the assessment of Minnesota K12 Education facilities provided data for the Task Force to evaluate and ultimately determine the it was not in the best interest of the District to continue to use, or update the current High School.
A local firm, BHH Partners, are the lead architects for all projects within the referendum.
