As part of Phase 3b.1 of the 2019 Capital Project, Ithaca High School will see the following upgrades:

• STEM Renovations/Additions: Addition includes an auto shop and open shop anticipated to be used for Code Red and other robotic education. Renovation of the current area will include four new classrooms, wood shop with new dust collector exterior of the building, welding shop, paint room, clean room, router room, storage room as well as an open shop for equipment/tools. A new gender inclusive toilet room will be incorporated. Office spaces for STEM staff are part of the project as well. Renovation will also include relocation of current data closet and electrical panels.

  • Additionally, a small addition will be going in for a new vestibule/hall to connect Building Q and Building E. This addition will also include a new physics classroom displaced by the STEM renovations.
