Plans are underway for the renovation of a much-used facility that is a part of the Los Lunas public school system.
Work renovating the Middle School, located at 423 Main Street NE, will include the replacement of the lighting system and floor and ceiling finishes.
The project additionally includes a roof deck replacement as well as the installation of new drain piping and replacement of mechanical units and ducts in the school’s locker rooms.
Plans also call for the replacement of an existing metal building at the site, and installation of new sidewalks and curbing at the site’s north parking lot.
The Middle School is one of 15 school comprising the Los Lunas Public Schools district, serving around 8,500 students.
Plans for the Middle School renovation come just as the district is in the early stages of another renovation project: the building of a new Peralta Elementary School, located at 3645 New Mexico State Road 47.
That project will most likely get underway next summer, with a projected late 2024 completion date.
The school district’s enrollment has increased at the same time that larger Los Lunas has seen its population grow from around 6,000 in the 1990s to more than 16,000 today.
