MOULTRIE, Ga. — School construction projects that began in 2016 are nearly complete, with the last holdout an indoor sports facility at Colquitt County High School.

Construction work at Doerun Elementary School wrapped up in August or September, Colquitt County School Superintendent Doug Howell said. The school received a new kitchen and cafeteria and a new front office complex, and each classroom got new tile and paint.

Work at Odom Elementary School was more extensive but is about 99 percent complete, Howell said last week. Some work was done over Christmas break.

“We’ve got practically a brand new school out there,” he said.

Odom has a new gymnasium and the old gymnasium was renovated to serve as the cafeteria. The former cafeteria has become the media center. The school also has a new kitchen, improvements to classrooms, two new paved parking lots and some duct and air conditioning work.

Demolition of part of the old high school on Park Avenue was completed in October, Howell said. Remaining parts of the building serve as the Board of Education offices and the GEAR gifted education center. Withers Auditorium has also been preserved on that site.

That leaves a three-part project at the new Colquitt County High School on Darbyshire Road. Two parts are essentially finished with the third part more than three-fourths done, Howell said.

An outdoor track is complete except for some cosmetic things, Howell said.

A building that now houses four large special-education classrooms opened over the Christmas holidays, he said. The classrooms are state-of-the-art and will serve the special-education students who are “self-contained,” away from the general student population.

“We spent a lot of time and money on something we really needed,” he said.

That same building also contains a new field house, weight room, locker rooms and offices for the football coaches. While many of those elements will be used primarily by the school’s sports teams, the weight room will be used by PE classes as well, Howell said.

Howell estimated the third project — a multipurpose indoor facility — is about 85 percent done. He expects it to be complete by the end of the month.

The facility, which is 75,000 square feet in size, will be used by not only the football team but other sports teams and the band too, Howell said.

Acknowledging the interest the public has shown in the projects at the high school, Howell said the school system is planning an open house to show them off to the community. No date has been set because the work isn’t done, he said, but he said he would expect it to be sometime in February.
