At their most recent meeting, the Humboldt School Board approved architectural plans for the new location of the alternative learning center.
Chris Behrens of Sande Construction Company in Humboldt was on hand to review the final drawings of the remodeling project.
“We had to enlarge the bathroom area in order to better serve the students in the education center. And we also have to have handicap-accessibility as well. That was the cause of enlarging the one,” Behrens said.
“Other than that, we haven’t really put any frills into this plan. We wanted it to be simple and inexpensive, but anything isn’t inexpensive anymore,” Humboldt School Superintendent Jim Murray said.
“We tried to leave the existing building as much as it was, like the large open space in the front for the classroom. That saved quite a bit of money,” Behrens said.
