While creating our new Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) labs, the outside of our school got a complete makeover, bringing a modern touch to the outside of our facility.

Current Progress
State Education Department (SED) Approval: We've reached an exciting milestone with our capital improvement project! After a thorough review, our project has received final approval from the New York State Education Department! This means that we are clear to start the process of finding contractors and subcontractors that will work on the project!
What are our Next Steps?
Bidding Process to Begin in 2026: We are targeting the bidding process to begin after the first of the year, which should help us maximize the number of bidders and encourage stronger competition for best pricing.
What is the Next Phase in the Project?
Finalizing Project Details and Renderings: SEI Design Group (architects and engineers) and Campus Construction (construction management group) are finalizing project details and renderings that will help visualize the transformation of key spaces. More about both of these groups and a look at proposed renderings can be found below.

Bridge Placed to Make Stadium Seating More Accessible
A bridge from the parking lot to the top of our stadium seating has been placed and is in the final stages before being able to open to the public. This bridge will allow easier access from our parking area to the top of the bleachers, making it easier for everyone to be able to enjoy the space.
New STEAM Labs Give Students a Space to Learn Hands-On
Our new Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) labs give students a large, open space where they are encouraged to learn hands-on. These open spaces make for the perfect environment for our students to dive into topics like science, art, and engineering and get practical lessons which they can touch and move.
New Playground Welcomes Students Back for 2024-2025 School Year!
A brand new playground welcomed our students back to school for the 2024-2025 school year! After facing structural issues, our previous playground needed to be replaced, and students are loving this brand new addition to our district!
Past C.I.P. Votes
Board of Education Public Forum - Future Capital Improvement Project - August 14, 2024
Board of Education Public Hearing - Future Capital Improvement Project - August 5, 2024
Board of Education CIP Workshop - June 25, 2024
Geneseo Central School District residents voted 208 Yes to 282 No on Tuesday, January 30, to reject a $28.3 million capital project. This project, titled "Safe Campus: Enhancing Security and Enriching Student Life Capital Improvement Project," would have focused on immediate infrastructure needs and overall enhancements to our facilities.
"While the result is not what we had hoped for, we appreciate the engagement of the Geneseo community in this important decision-making process," Superintendent of Schools Cindy Flowers said.
The proposed project, which was shaped by community and staff feedback, aimed to address immediate infrastructure needs and overall enhancements to the facilities, with a particular focus on the main gymnasium. Repairs are needed to keep the space open for use without negatively impacting physical education classes and athletic programs.
