The Eaton Community School District is excited to announce that the plans for construction of the new Middle and Elementary Schools is underway.  Although this will be approximately a three year project, we are making great strides in the process.  Please check back often for updates on the progress, or feel free to contact the Superintendent's Office at 456-1107 for more information.
 

School administration and school board members met with the architects and construction company to discuss "green" options.  Each option is worth an allotted number of points, and the Ohio School Facilities Commission requires a minimum about of points for new school buildings.  These options will be discussed further to determine which will be the most practical for our buildings, as well as which will be the most cost and energy effective.

The design teams met with the architects to discuss the total square footage of the new buildings.  They also looked at the square footage of specific rooms and discussed if the room sized were accommodating, or if they were able to reduce the size of some areas in order to better use the square footage in other areas.

The design teams traveled to area schools to tour their facilities for ideas to incorporate into our new buildings. 
Buildings that were visited: 

Indian Lake Elementary
Newton Schools
Trotwood Elementary & Middle Schools
Brookville High School
 

Two design teams consisting of teachers, custodians, and secretaries from the Middle School and Bruce Elementary  met to assist in the design of classroom and building spaces.  Team members will brainstorm with other employees and relay ideas to the administrators and architects.
 

During the partnering session, city and county administrators were invited to brainstorm with the Ohio School Facilities Commission, architects, and school employees.  The district is looking forward to working with the community to help build safe and efficient schools.
