Helix Charter High School Press Box Replacement Project

The Helix Charter High School Press Box Replacement Project, managed by the Grossmont Union High School District, involves the demolition of an existing 483-square foot press box at the athletic field located at 7323 University Ave, La Mesa, California. In its place, a new 410-square foot press box will be constructed. While the new structure is smaller in footprint, it will be approximately 9.7 feet taller than the previous 12-foot-tall structure and will include a new canopy to provide shade. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 236220 and is designated as categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15302 and 15314 for replacement, reconstruction, and minor additions to schools. All construction activities will occur on campus and will not result in increased student enrollment, staffing, or changes to off-site traffic circulation. Dena Johnson, the Interim Executive Director of Facilities, serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
