Re “Reynolds Peers Inside Science Building”

With the School District committed to speeding up — by a year — the spending of the $106 million available in bond money for school improvements, the shape of some projects remains clouded.

Take the bullseye event – erection of a science building, probably two stories, at least six to eight classrooms.

Mike Reynolds, the District’s assistant superintendent for business, said the exact location is not yet settled for the facility that will serve Culver City High School students and the Middle School.

How soon can the intriguing pre-built structure be ready?

“We have to submit the plans to the Dept. of State Architect for approval,” Mr. Reynolds said. “That always is the longest part.

“The science building already has been approved. But there is a whole site-preparation process you have to go through, about utilities, access and related parts.

“Depends,” said the assistant super, “on when the plans are finalized and all decisions have been made.”

One major advantage is that the building will be partially constructed off-site.

“There should not be as long of a construction timeline as if it were being built from the ground up on the site,” said Mr. Reynolds.
