History

Union-Endicott High School opened in 1915. During the summer of 2014, work was done to remove asbestos from the building. The initiative was part of a US$7 mil capital project that voters approved in a December 2013 referendum.[4][5]

The firm of Cummings and Conrad were selected to design and build a three-story, brick school at a cost of just over $100,000. Work on the structure continued through early 1915. The builders had to contend with the farm at the rear of the property that is now Ty Cobb Stadium. They also had to put up with visitors to the adjoining Casino Park.

Ithaca architect Fred Thomas designed a new four-story addition to the school that merged elements of the original building. The new addition added 135,000 feet of space at a cost of $6.2 million. The modular design could change as needs shifted in the future. Work began in 1972, and the project was complete by 1974. The modern addition included laboratories, art and music rooms and health classrooms.[6]
