Consolidated Facilities Replacement

Consolidated Facilities Building Replacement

About the Project

In February of 2024, Bremerton School District voters approved a 25-year bond to support updates or replacements to facilities across the district, including the replacement of the District’s Consolidated Facilities building which houses the facilities/maintenance and transportation departments, as well as the District warehouse.  The new building will also include the technology department.

Construction is scheduled to begin in Summer of '26!

We're pleased to announce that we'll be constructing a new and improved Consolidated Facilities Building to house our critical IT, Facilities, and Transportation Department personnel and equipment. The new ~25,000 sf building will be constructed on the same site and adjacent to the existing building, enabling key staff to maintain operations during construction. The new facility will better serve the needs of the entire district by centralizing the IT infrastructure and decentralizing the storage of building-specific consumable items. 

Key features of the new building include: 

  • Improved, dedicated IT server room to better maintain critical data infrastructure throughout the district
  • Improved bus and service vehicle maintenance capacity
  • Dedicated bus washing station
  • Improved warehouse footprint and organization

Project Updates

August 2026

The Consolidated Facilities replacement project is underway! Abatement of hazardous materials began in July and is nearly complete, allowing physical demolition of the building to begin the week of August 24th. The building will be demolished from south to north, and the site development will take off following that.

The design team is working diligently with the City of Bremerton to finalize our first permit and to identify additional site requirements.

In the meantime, the Facilities and Transportation teams have relocated to enable our construction team to begin site work. Both teams are operating out of less-than-ideal circumstances and have made many sacrifices to comfort and convenience to help keep this project on track.

A new consolidated facilities building is long overdue. Our primary focus and capital dollars have been directed towards our school buildings – enhancing learning environments, ensuring safety upgrades, and providing the best possible spaces where students learn and grow every day. Investments in our operational facilities, while necessary, have been a lower priority as they do not directly impact the daily educational experience of our students in the same way our classrooms and learning spaces do.
