One of the final pieces of the $119 million construction bond passed by Camas School District voters in February 2016 — the renovation of the historic Joyce Garver Theater — is set to begin this spring.
Heidi Rosenberg, the school district’s capital programs director, told Camas School Board members Monday that construction on the Camas theater is expected to occur from April 2020 to April 2021.
Staff at the city of Camas are currently reviewing building permits for the project, and recently released a Determination of Non-Significance stating that the proposed project will not adversely impact the environment.
Mahlum Architects, the Seattle- and Portland-based firm that designed Lacamas Lake Elementary, the Camas district’s newest grade school, also are charged with designing the Garver Theater renovations.
On Monday, Mahlum representatives took school board members through a short video presentation of what the new theater might look like by the summer of 2021.
