JEFFERSON TWP — Only about a dozen people attended the public presentation of the proposed plans for the $34.2 million renovation at Knoch High School, but they shared lots of feedback with the architect, school board, construction manager and superintendent.

Cassandra Renninger, principal architect at DRAW Collective, explained the renovation plans on Wednesday night in the Knoch Middle School library.

The plans, which have not yet been approved by the school board, include installing artificial turf in the stadium; an addition and main entrance loop on the northeast side of the school; a lane on the west side of the middle school that would be used to drop students at a secure entrance in the rear; moving the student parking lot to the current practice fields beside the athletic stadium; and more.

Superintendent David Foley said it will take about three summers to complete the project.
