ARUNDEL — With a vote looming in January to determine whether Regional School Unit 21 undertakes a $75 million renovation of several of its schools, educators and town officials in Arundel, Kennebunk, and Kennebunkport are making a push to provide the public with as much information as possible.
It’s with this in mind that district representatives will hold a facilities tour of the Mildred L. Day School in Arundel on Monday at 6 p.m., to be followed at 7 p.m. by a public hearing on the current state of the renovation plans.
The proposed plan calls for major updates to Mildred L. Day School, Kennebunk High School and Kennebunkport Consolidated School. In the case of Mildred L. Day School, the primary focus would be on the replacement of the C and D wings. Built on unstable soil, those areas have experienced settling of about 1/2 inch per year, which has affected the structural integrity of the roof. Tim Hussey, chairman of the RSU’s Facilities Committee, said during a public hearing in October that new floor plans for the school would allow for a building that has greater security, proper vehicle and pedestrian flow, a full-sized gymnasium, larger classrooms, and a multi-purpose space for both school and public use.
The proposal for all three schools, which would be renovated concurrently, was crafted by the district and by Auburn-based Harriman Architects and Engineers.
