Greenhills School renovation to complete 1st phase in spring

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 | Source: Concentrate
Work on the first phase of Ann Arbor's Greenhills School expansion  continues to moves along slowly but steadily, with a new finish date set for this spring.

The private school is going for LEED Gold Certification, the second highest ranking in the system, as it renovates and expands it school on the city's east side by Geddes Road and U.S. 23. Among the big ticket items is a geothermal heating-and-cooling system.

The first phase of the Greenhills School project is creating two new biology labs, a greenhouse, a college counseling center and three new classrooms. The price tag clocks in at about $3 million. The second and third phases, another $3 million in work, include new space for the school's chemistry, physics and middle school science programs, along with other renovations and additions.

All phases will equal 10,000 square feet of new classroom and lab space to the rear of the main building. It will also renovate about 40 percent of the existing school of 500-plus students. A webcam of the work can be seen here.
