To renovate Middlesex High School (MHS) in Saluda could cost between $20.5 and $40.7 million. That’s what Middlesex County School Board members heard Monday at their regular monthly meeting. During the Aug. 8 meeting, which was in the St. Clare Walker (SCW) Middle School auditorium, representatives from Moseley Architects in Richmond presented cost estimates on three proposed renovation plans for MHS.
The first option would cost $20.5 million; second option, $30.9 million; and a third option, $40.7 million. Stephen Halsey, vice president of Moseley Architects, said the first option would add 16,000 square feet to MHS. The second option would add 23,000 square feet and the third option, 50,000 square feet. The costs of the three options are figured on costs of $350 per square foot.
