Tisbury voters are likely to be asked in June to approve $55 million in long-term bond debt to renovate, expand and modernize the town’s 90-year-old school building.
As town leaders whittle away at their school building project, trimming costs and discussing how best to house students during construction, a new proposal emerged.
The Tisbury School building committee agreed this week on a conceptual design for a school addition that puts the gymnasium at parking level to provide easier access for town residents.
A redesigned, expanded Tisbury School is taking shape on the desktops of Boston-based Tappé Architects; conceptual designs will be shared with the public beginning next week in a monthlong series.
A renovated, expanded Tisbury School could cost more than $55 million, according to estimates presented by the architect to the school building committee this week.
