A joint venture between Dayton-based Shook Construction and Lima-based Touchstone CPM will provide construction management services for the $10 million replacement of Fairmont High School’s auditorium.
The project includes the replacement of the existing auditorium at the high school with an expanded lobby.
Though the project is still in the planning stages with no conceptual art at this point, demolition is scheduled for the summer of 2017 with subcontractor bidding starting this spring. Work should be complete by August 2018.

Lane Stadium, the new $4 million athletic complex in Oakwood, is expected to be completed and open next month.
The complex will seat about 700 fans and house an athletic turf field and a regulation-size track that will be used for field hockey, lacrosse, soccer and track and field. High school football games will remain at Mack Hummon Stadium.
The project has received $3.7 million in donations from about 230 private donors and business owners, $1.5 million more than the goal they set for themselves in 2015.
Oakwood City Schools will manage and operate the facility, which will include scheduling and organizing school events in addition to hosting outside clubs and high school tournament events.
Tipp City schools' leaders and supporters are planning to raise funds for a new stadium, with the Board of Education's vote to locate the facility at City Park.
City Park is a historical and centrally located landmark in Tipp City, a growing Miami County community that’s located off Interstate 75 between Vandalia and Troy.
The City Park site stadium cost was listed at around $6 million and is expected to have a seating capacity of 3,500, new home and visitor bleachers, new home and visitor press boxes and new locker-rooms and concessions.
Construction is expected to begin after this coming football season and be fully completed by the 2018 season.
