A year after approving a $34 million rebuild of the Salt Lake City School District’s main office building, construction is now slated to be complete at the end of summer 2024 — with a steep increase in cost.

District offices, located on 440 E. 100 South, were in the last building in the district to be rebuilt or retrofitted for seismic safety. TheThis final rebuild is proceeding as the district and school board leaders are studying and considering, due to years-long declines in enrollment.

The additional money for the rebuild will come from the district’s reserves, she added, and there was no need seek a bond that would have put “any additional burden on taxpayers.” Previously, the district aimed to have the building complete by May 2024, she said. Construction was delayed due to heavy snowfall in the winter, she said, but the plan now to open by the end of summer 2024 still falls within the original two-year estimate of the general contractors.
