Construction History

R.A. Brown Middle School campus was constructed in 1963. Several renovations and upgrades were made in 1979 to replace aging equipment and augment school facilities.

2017 HSD Bond

$17.40 million was expended on the most recent bond-related construction from 2018 to 2021. Funding was made possible by the 2017 Hillsboro School District Bond, thanks to the approval of voters in November 2017.

Boiler Replacement

The aging boiler was replaced in 2018 for more efficient water heating.

Building Improvements

Over 2019 and 2020, as well as during the 2020-21 school year (on days when students were not present), the school underwent extensive building renovations and upgrades. These improvements included:

  • Distributed antenna system (for uniform and consistent radio communications for first responders throughout the building)
  • Seismic upgrades
  • Secure entry vestibule and other safety and security upgrades
  • Roofing upgrades
  • Upgrades to HVAC systems and ductwork
  • Added air conditioning
  • HVAC direct digital controls
  • Domestic water pipe and fixture replacements
  • Interior and exterior painting

Bond Project Highlights

HVAC ductwork was replaced and added throughout the building as part of HVAC system upgrades.

Upgrades also were made to the domestic water plumbing.

Roofing was refinished and skylights replaced.

Natural daylighting shines through the skylights into the freshly-painted hallways.

Classrooms were updated with new plumbing and fixtures, air conditioning, modern technology, and flexible furniture.

The administrative offices and entry vestibule were remodeled as the final projects at the school.
