Chiloquin Gymnasium Construction Breaks Ground

Construction began last month on the new Chiloquin Junior/Senior High School gym. Klamath County School Superintendent Glen Szymoniak told Klamath Tribes News that “The estimated overall cost of the Chiloquin gym is approximately $7 million. There were some unexpected delays and costs associated with archeological issues. The construction phase is expected to last approximately one year, so it should be done by the summer of 2025.” Soderstrom Architects designed the gym, and Diversified Contractors Inc. is building it. The Klamath Tribes Culture and Heritage Center has worked with the school district and construction crews, monitoring the site for any archeological findings and proper procedures under Revised Statute (ORS) 390.235, the main compliance law the school district must follow since funding for the project is from the state.  (Ken Smith/Klamath Tribes News)
