In an effort to keep the schools in Pawtucket safe, clean, and conducive to learning, the Pawtucket School Committee awarded Tower Construction the bid to renovate Jenks Jr. High School at 350 Division St. Jenks, which also houses JMW School for the Performing Arts, has three open pods upstairs which currently contains approximately 15 classrooms. This renovation would close off each classroom with new walls, doors, and ceilings in addition to new electrical and HVAC.
The cost for this project is approximately $983,000 of which the majority is subject to state reimbursement. The majority of this work is contracted to be completed by August 19th, several days prior to the first day of school.
