Under Construction
New Multi-purpose Room (MPR): Work is well underway in the construction of the new West Multi-purpose Room. The completion date for the MPR is scheduled for Fall 2027.
In Planning
Conversion of the current West Multi-purpose Room to the New West School Library: The current MPR will be re-imagined into a new learning space that will host the West Library. This project start date is TBD.
Fire Alarm Upgrade: New Fire Alarm Systems will be installed on the West School Campus concurrently with the construction of the new West School MPR. Anticipated completion date is October 2027.
Completed
West School Underground Utility Lines: Over its 75-year lifespan, certain sections of the waste line have subsided, leading to persistent backups and systemic inefficiencies. West underground utilities were constructed concurrently with the MPR, as the locations of both projects overlap one another. This project was completed in August 2025.
Security Cameras and Safety Programs: Security Camera and Safety Programs: HCSD partnered directly with Verkada Security Systems and has installed security cameras on all campuses and at the District Office. Additionally, ActVNet First Responder Access was also completed, improving security and rapid response during emergencies.
Staff Restrooms and Teacher Dining Room Renovations: The two staff restrooms located in the MPR along with the Staff Dining Room also located in the MPR, were renovated this summer (2025).
West School Sewer Pipe: The long needed replacement of the West sewer line took place concurrently with the construction of the MPR, as the locations of both projects overlap one another. This project ensures West School's infrastructure's safety, efficiency, and reliability, providing an optimal learning environment for our students.This project was completed in August 2025.
Roofing and HVAC: New roofing has been installed across the West School campus with the addition of new heating and air conditioning units. This timing could not have been better with the exceptionally hot days in October 2024.
Marquee Board: A new Marquee Board was installed during the summer of 2024. The new Marquee Board is completely electronic so staff and parent volunteers are able to make changes to the messaging electronically. The Marquee Board is the same type and style that is used by the Town of Hillsborough allowing for consistency should any emergency messaging be needed across the town.
Classroom Technology: During the summer of 2023, SmartBoards were deployed into each classroom on the North campus. All teachers received training on using the new SmartBoards and implementation is taking place across all classrooms.
UPS Upgrades: The District replaced its Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems with network technology to provide critical power backup for each site to keep the network functioning and allow it to safely be powered down despite power failures.
