Current Projects

Band Building

Construction of the band building will begin in the summer of 2021 with completion scheduled for the summer of 2022. It will be located between the stadium’s north end zone and the south edge of the high school’s bus loop. The building will have two band rooms, one large and one medium sized. There will be a uniform storage room with commercial sized washer and dryer, offices, a conference room, and lots of storage located in the building. A large video display board and a scoreboard incorporated into south face of the building. Large doors open directly to the football field from the band rooms, which allow the band to march directly on the field for their practices and performances. View photo renderings.

High School Renovation & Stadium Construction

• Posted April 2021 – Union Football Stadium Face Sheet
• July 17, 2020 Update: “The elevator shaft at the stadium was completed this week,” reported Lee Snodgrass, executive director of Special Projects. “It is 80 feet tall. That is the height of the press box roof. There will be a camera deck on top of the press box which will add 12 additional feet on top of that.” Snodgrass has shared two documents showing what the west stands will look like and recent photos. See more photos here.
• High School Campus Remodeling project – The 5-year bond on which this project is based passed in February of 2018. The bond contains $42,475,000 for District Fine Arts, Athletics, Classroom, and Stadium Renovation and Construction including FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) for the High School campus. Since May of 2018 architects, engineers, and Union staff have been working on the plans. The project scope is outlined at the link.
• Stadium Construction Work – Union has begun demolition on at Union’s Tuttle Stadium, paving the way toward a brand-new “home” side with improved accessibility, concessions and restroom facilities, and a revitalized east side. Union will add a Fine Arts wing to the north side of the stadium to better serve band students, and provide improved weight room and locker facilities for athletics, as well as new space for wrestling, volleyball, spirit, and golf. The project scope is outlined at the link.
