Work began on two facilities at Marietta Public Schools last week, a locker room and hitting facility for the softball field, and the site pictured above, to the north of the cafeteria.
This site will be the new home for a 5,245-square-foot building that will house STEM classrooms and labs in half of the building and administrative offices in the other half. The Tri-County Special Education Co-op will move into the current administration facility when the new one is finished. Projected completion date is early 2020, pending no unforeseen construction delays. While the softball complex will be funded from proceeds of a bond passed last summer, the STEM/Admin building will be funded from the district's building fund.
