[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Northwood is moving out of its building this June. Boxes to pack up stuff are being delivered soon. Classroom assignments have already been made for the Woodward building.
I think the ship has sailed and the Northwood construction will happen. The original building is in bad shape. The question is whether Northwood gets stuck at Woodward for longer than 3 years [/quote]

I'm curious... for folks who've been tracking this, how common is it for MCPS construction projects to take longer than scheduled?[/quote]

It is the norm for MCPS construction process to take significantly longer than whatever they first stated. [/quote]

But Northwood being relocated to a holding school for 3 years is not the norm for HS construction.[/quote]

That's because they usually build the new addition or new building next to the existing building, which remains in operation. But that wasn't possible at Northwood.[/quote]

True, but even when they used to relocate a HS to a holding school during construction (Northwood itself was the old holding school), it was for two years, not three. This is a new timeline.[/quote]

True, it used to be 2 years. The construction companies have now said that due to supply chain issues, they cannot get it done in two and have said it will take 3.  However,  the multiple delays before this, are all on MCPS[/quote]

In October 2017, the FY2019 CIP was released, and was the first in which Woodward's reopening as a high school was proposed. Tracking how the project's planned Date of Completion has changed over the years:

CIP     : Date of Completion for Woodward HS reopening
FY2019: TBD
FY2020: TBD
FY2021: Sept. 2025
FY2022: Sept. 2025
FY2023: August 2025
FY2024: August 2026
FY2025: August 2027
