Renovation of an educational facility in Lewiston, Maine. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Due to space and aging facilities (Dingley Building) concerns, LPS is exploring numerous options for upgrading the central office and expanding space to introduce a two middle school model for grades 6, 7, and 8. This will allow for pathways and space at all K8 schools. The central office staff has long outgrown the Dingley Building. In addition, we estimate between 3.5 4 million dollars to make the Dingley Building usable for the staff assigned there. Options being explored include acquiring and renovating an existing building, renting a facility, building new, and others. Phase 1: Research potential locations, needs assessment, and concept plan. Phase 2: Based on the needs assessment and concept plan, have the architects propose three scenarios for renovation or new construction to be reviewed by the School Committee and City Council prior to next steps. This project is in included in the City of Lewiston FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of May 14, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
