Campus Construction
Transformation of the Lynbrook High School Campus
Phases 1 through 4: New Science Building, Theater Lobby Addition, Guidance and Student Services Building, Field House Addition, Cafeteria, Quad, Gym Lobby and ASB Room
The first project in the transformation of the Lynbrook campus was the Field House Addition, which includes a weight room/fitness center, dance studio and and PE classroom. This multi-story building is situated behind the current Field House and across from Stober Field and Lynbrook Viking Stadium. Construction on this $7 million project was completed in Spring 2017.
Planning for Phase 2 began in Spring of 2016, with a team of teachers, parents, students and administrators providing input on the design of this vital area of campus. The schematic design was presented at the FUHSD board meeting on October 11, 2016, and the Board of Trustees subsequently approved the programming plans for the new Quad and Cafeteria. Construction on the Cafeteria and Quad portion of the project began in Summer 2018 and was completed in Summer 2019. The gym lobby and gym seismic and HVAC upgrades were subsequently completed in 2020.
The completed Guidance and Student Services Building opened in the Fall of 2021 as part of Phase 3 of the campus transformation. The Auditorium Lobby was the final piece of Phase 3. Phase 4, the new Science Building, commenced construction in Summer 2022, with an opening ceremony in October 2023.
Modernization of the existing classrooms is underway. The buildings in the first phase of modernization were the 300s, 000s, and 100s wings. The 300s building were completed in 2024. In summer 2024, the utility upgrade to the water and sewage system was completed.
In August 2025, the 100’s wing was reopened with fully updated, larger classrooms featuring additional windows for natural light, a new HVAC system, LED lighting, fire alarms and sprinklers, technology upgrades, and new classroom furniture. The 200’s wing is currently under construction with plans to reopen for the second semester in 2026. The new Voyager Campus was finished and prepared for students on the first day of school in 2025. The old Voyager building was torn down, and construction of the new Maker’s Space for the robotics team is underway. Additionally, updated walkways and more student seating areas around the Library, 100s and 200s, have been added for students to enjoy outdoor spaces on campus. We are managing all of this work with minimal disruption to students and staff.
In September 2025, we celebrated the grand opening of the new Voyager Campus. The Voyager program serves students with mental health and behavioral challenges who need a safe and supportive learning environment. One of the key goals for this space was to bring the educational and therapeutic areas together in a single building, while also creating a thoughtful separation between them, which was achieved through the beautiful courtyard and unique roof design. In this way, classrooms, therapy spaces, and staff offices remain connected, while also providing space for students that meets their needs as they transition between different aspects of their day.
Lynbrook's Stober Field and football field are slated for renovations next. The small rubber pellets currently used as infill within the turf will be replaced with natural crushed shells, which are biodegradable and contain fewer harmful chemicals. The infill serves to weigh down the turf, ensuring it stays in place. Additionally, shock-absorbing cushioning known as Brock Pads will be installed beneath the turf to help absorb impact.
The school expects these construction projects to finish by the end of 2026. The remaining wings around campus are also expected to be renovated by this time. During the second semester of this year, the 400s wing will be renovated in the same way as the 100s wing, with two classrooms taken out and the others expanded. The 500 and 600 wings will follow.
