September 2011: Asbestos Abatement & Demolition Continue

At the September 13, 2011 facilities committee meeting, Landscape Architect Nancy Lonnett Roman, representing Pashek Associates provided a renovation update, reviewing the changes that would be made to reflect the board decision to complete the athletic field, retaining wall, parking and surrounding areas as originally planned.

During the month of September, asbestos abatement continued following the discovery of asbestos sealed in the floors between building levels.

Areas of the building have been demolished to make way for additions and renovations:

• A portion of kitchen and the complete loading dock have been removed.
• The former dance studio has been demolished.
• The athletics storage area has been demolished.
• The walls between classrooms on the top floor have been removed.

On September 26, 2011, the gymnasium was opened up to start work on the addition.
