T&T Construction Management Group, Inc., recently began construction on a replacement facility for Jean Ribault High School in Jacksonville, Fla., according to a news release. The original facility was built in 1957. The project is part of a larger, $2-billion initiative to update schools throughout the entire county, funded by a half-cent sales tax that voters approved in 2020. The new building will cost an estimated $120 million and is currently scheduled for completion in 2025.

The new facility measures in at 150,000 square feet and consists of two instructional buildings with a capacity for more than 1,500 students, according to the news release. Amenities will include more than 40 new classrooms; a 12,500-square-foot gymnasium; and CTE spaces geared toward subjects like nursing, banking, robotics, aviation, digital audio production, and more. The campus auditorium, fieldhouse, and JROTC and music buildings will also be remodeled.

The district is partnering with Gilbane Building Company as the general contractor and Schenkel Shultz Architecture.
