The last major portion of the $80.7 million Northampton Area Middle School and Secondary Campus Renovation Project is the auxiliary field and bus loop. This series of photos, starting in June 2015, depicts demolition of the old middle school, built in 1969, and site cleanup and preparation, leading up to Aug. 29 opening day of the 2016-17 school year in Northampton Area School District. The new field, site of the old middle school, is available for use by sports teams, including boys and girls soccer.
