A $245 million modernization of Lincoln High School in Portland is in the works, even though construction won’t technically start for nearly a year.

Hoffman Construction is seeking sub-bids for installation of aggregate piers, one of the first steps in carrying out site work for the project. The deadline for submissions is 2 p.m. Tuesday, July 2. There is no pre-bid meeting scheduled.

According to Portland Public Schools, design and permitting for the project will continue through fall 2019, with the first of two phases of construction planned to last from summer 2020 through summer 2022. This would see the construction of the new high school building on the west side of the campus. It will be crowned by a multi-story tower that will house the main entrance to the school and a host of academic programs.

The project is considered a full rebuild of the existing school, and students would move to the new facility in fall 2022. The project would continue until fall 2023, with construction of new athletic fields and demolition of the old school building.

Bora Architects is the designer for the Lincoln High project, while Hoffman Construction is working with the school district under a Construction Manager/General Contractor contract.

Primary features of the new school will include a new commons and outdoor plaza at the main entrance. Specialized classrooms for 2D and 3D fine arts and adjacent flex spaces are included, along with STEM labs and a maker space.

New athletic facilities will include a 1,700 seat main gym, auxiliary gym, weight room, wrestling/dance room, and a new track and field.

Further, a new 500-seat auditorium, black box theatre, dedicated band and choir classrooms and associated practice rooms will be built, along with a dedicated career technical education space intended for computer science, product design, mass communications, culinary arts, and business management programs.
