School Board members, District and school administrators, teachers and students at J.C. Bermudez Senior High School attended an unveiling of four architectural illustrations of the school’s new building and renovations. The General Obligation Bond project, estimated to cost $35.7 million, is expected to be completed in September 2025.
“Miami-Dade County Public Schools is your best choice with the investment that’s been made by our district, and by our School Board to make sure that these students have first class facilities,” said J.C. Bermudez Senior High School Principal Edward Smith. “We’re getting a new gym, a little theater, and new science class and labs. It’s quite a project.”
School Board Chair Mari Tere Rojas, School Board Member Danny Espino, Deputy Superintendent and Chief Operating Officer John D. Pace as well as Doral Mayor Chrsti Fraga were among those who attended the event held at the school’s auditorium.
Silva Arhchitects, commissioned to work on the project, created the visuals, the four renderings plus a video of a computerized flyover so that students and staff could see how the school would look when the project is finished. The auditorium filled with students erupted with applause when the flyover video ended and the renderings were shown.
“It’s going to be cool for the younger kids. With the basketball court and the new gym it’s going to be awesome, “ said Logan Malloney ,an 11th grader at the school.
The project will feature the construction of a new 69,000 sq. ft. building, walkways, a courtyard, additional parking spaces as well as remodeling and renovations of existing buildings.
