Crews have finished the structural steel frame for Foothill High School's new performing arts and athletic facilities, Pleasanton Unified School District says, and students and staff marked the milestone by signing the last beams to go up.
The district reported the milestone in a recent edition of its E-Connect newsletter, the Pleasanton Weekly reported Thursday. With the skeleton complete, workers move on to decking, walls and the building systems inside. The next big step, according to the district, is putting a new roof on the school's existing gymnasium. The project is still expected to be finished at the end of 2027.
What is being built
The district lists the Foothill project budget at $79,881,178, including $69,959,143 for construction. It is paid for by Measure I, the $395 million school bond Pleasanton voters approved in 2022.
On the arts side, plans call for a new theater with a choir room, band room, orchestra room, scene shop and a concession booth. The athletic portion adds a new competition gym with team rooms, a fitness room, a weight room and locker rooms, modernizes the existing small gym and installs a new synthetic field, according to the district's Measure I project page.
