Construction updates:

The Northfield High School Reimagine project has begun in earnest, and regular construction updates will be provided in district and building newsletters and on this webpage.

Construction Cameras

Cameras have been installed to view construction progress. Camera 1 is located above the Memorial Field concession stand and will provide images of the south parking lot construction, music addition construction, and expanded gymnasium construction. Camera 2 is located above the main entrance door 1 on the roof and will provide images of the classroom addition. Click the link below to view both camera views.

• Start additional demolition activities, such as mechanical and electrical removals inside the existing building at Area N (auxiliary gym and PE01).
• Prep and pour new sidewalks that will serve as walkways into main and activity entrances.

During construction, the preferred route for parking and building access will be via Raider Drive and Door 10. We encourage all visitors to use this entrance throughout the summer.

Please note that due to continued progress on site, there will be increased construction traffic along Raider Drive. Only construction vehicles are to enter the construction zone through the gated fence.

Those attending football, volleyball, or soccer games should use Raider Drive on the southwest corner of the map below to drop off or park for entry to Memorial Field or to enter Door 10 at the high school. Those attending tennis matches should enter the site using Division Street on the east side of the map to drop off or park.
