Hudson Middle School and North Hudson and EP Rock Elementary Schools Construction Update
The School District is excited to begin construction projects at Hudson Middle School, North Hudson Elementary, and EP Rock Elementary Schools this fall. The community approved these capital projects in April 2023. The initial bids came in over budget. This past spring, the School District decided to rebid the projects. The spring bids provided a more favorable timeline, resulting in a savings of roughly four million dollars.
North Hudson Elementary held its groundbreaking ceremony on September 10th. During the next several months, construction will focus on the two-stage gymnasium and media center addition. Work will also begin on updating the building’s utility service. Remodeling of the classrooms and other interior spaces is scheduled to start in January.
Keeping students and staff safe throughout the construction process is a priority. Protective fencing has been installed outside, and temporary partition walls will close off access to classrooms while they are updated. The partitions will minimize noise, dust, and other disruptions, ensuring the learning environment has minimal impact. The project team is committed to maintaining safety and limiting interference with daily school activities as we progress with building improvements.
At Hudson Middle School, the construction focus has shifted to interior improvements. The media center has been updated with new furniture and shelving, providing students and staff with a more functional and inviting learning environment. The improvements also allow for individual study and collaborative learning with flexible seating.
Planning continues at EP Rock Elementary, with actual construction beginning in January.
All three projects will be completed by the fall of 2025.
Long-Term Facility Maintenance Planning History
