Parking Plans for BHS: 2025-2026
Dear Berkley Schools Community,
Over the next year and a half, Berkley High School will undergo major building improvements due to the Bond work, and you will begin to see our construction teams preparing the site in the upcoming weeks. These improvements represent a major milestone in our commitment to providing our students with state-of-the-art spaces that will foster their growth and learning in many areas including: academics, athletics, performing arts, and a new space for our Adult Transition Program and Robotics.
One of the first changes you will likely notice or experience is the impact on student and staff parking. The detailed information below outlines the project work, the project timeline and the impact projects will have on parking. Please read through to the end, as construction will cause many parking spaces to be closed this school year and the next school year. To learn more about the overall Bond and Sinking Fund projects, please visit our Bond website and review our monthly updates.
To prepare the community for the construction work, changes in parking lot availability for our students and to share details of the Bond work, the community is invited to attend a meeting at Berkley High School on March 12, 2025 at 7 pm in the Auditorium. Guests will have a chance to see renderings of the new work, hear how the District is working with students regarding parking and where patience is needed through October 2026. Berkley High School neighbors are encouraged to attend.
The following project updates are listed in order by our target completion date and includes scope details and potential impacts on the high school. Also included below is a map of the upcoming parking lot closures.
