South Medford High School

Estimated Construction Dates: Summer 2008-August 2010
Last Updated on 9-26-08


 
PROJECT SUMMARY:

The current school was built in 1931 and has had multiple additions.  These additions have made the facility inefficient for the student population that attends.  The current campus has 78 classrooms on its 21 acre campus.  The new SMHS will be built at Cunningham and Columbus on approximately 38 acres, already owned by the district.  The new school will have 85 classrooms and offer 255,000 square feet of teaching space to accommodate 2,000 students.  The student parking entrance will be on Columbus Avenue and exit will be on Diamond.  Bus drop off will be between sports fields and student parking.  Faculty and visitor parking entrance will be on Cunningham Avenue.
The Medford School District advertises requests for proposals (RFPs) at http://www.medford.k12.or.us/RFP.asp?SectionID=140
