Despite being a cold and rainy Fall day, it did not dampen the excitement at the October 9, 2009, groundbreaking ceremony of the Sylvania City School District’s new Hill View Elementary School. Bostleman has been retained as the construction consultant for Sylvania City Schools' district-wide construction program, which includes the new Hill View Elementary School project. The new $7.1 Million, 46,767 sf elementary school will be located on the same property as the existing school on Whiteford Road in Sylvania. Most of the existing elementary school will be demolished over the summer. The gymnasium, cafeteria, art room, and music room of the existing building will remain and tie into the new building. The new school will include a geothermal field for building heating needs and three classrooms at each grade level (1-5). According to Bostleman Senior Project Managers Joe Swint and Jason Toth who are managing the district's construction program, the new Hill View Elementary School is scheduled to be completed in December of 2010.
