Tolton Regional Catholic High School
Where: East end of Gans Road at Phillips Lake and US Highway 63
Size: 80,000 square feet, approximately
General Contractor: PC&E
Architect: Peckham & Wright
Timeline: The groundbreaking ceremony was held in May, and construction is scheduled to be finished in fall 2011.
Cost: $14 million. Final bids came in about 20 percent less than estimated.
Workers have poured footings for the gym, planted the underground pilings and graded the parking lot. The regional Catholic diocese based in Jefferson City has raised more than $10.3 million to pay for the project, and construction will continue while the church seeks to raise the remaining $3.7 million to cover the cost of the school, named after Father Augustine Tolton.
The diocese announced earlier this month that a $1 million pledge will be contributed when fundraising reaches the $12 million mark.
