Sunnyside School District will work with Kennewick contractor Goodman and Mehlenbacher to complete Phase 0 of construction at Sunnyside High School. The details of Phase 0 can be read below. Construction started the first week of September. A rendering and photos of the parking lot can be seen in the slide show to the right.

Phase 0 - Parking Lot on the Northeast Side of SHS Campus

The parking lot at the northeast end of campus. This will be a possible location for construction staging when work begins on the two-story building and performing arts addition. The parking lot will eventually serve staff and students, and be used for event parking for the new athletic facility.

Phase 1 - Two-Story Classroom Building and Fine Arts Addition

Bids will come in through early October with a goal of construction starting on the two-story classroom building in late October with a completion date of July 2020. Work on the Fine Arts Addition will start in November.

Phase 2 - Athletic Building

As part of the funds provided by the state, an athletic building will be built on the site of the new stadium and track facility. It will include locker and athletic training space, concessions, and restrooms. The start of construction for this building depends on a number of factors including when bids are received, the costs associated with Project 2, and weather.

Phase 3 - Athletic Facilities (Track and Sports Field)

Bid requests will be announced at a later date and updated here. The start of construction of this project is dependent on the completion of Projects 1-3. More information will be added as it comes available.
