With the good weather, the crew continues to work in many areas of the building at the same time. They pumped concrete to the second floor so the bases for the new lockers could be poured. They were testing samples of concrete and sending them off to the lab for evaluation. Samples of new brick and mortar were reviewed to determine a match to the present building.As the month of January ends, much attention has turned to the construction of the health and wellness wing of the middle school. With most of the steel beams in place, the crew started on the floor for the wing as well as the block walls of the new gymnasium. Prior to pouring the floor, the crew installed floor boxes to hold the power and network connections for the health and wellness equipment. In another part of the building, the crew installed floor boxes for similar purposes in the computer lab.
Throughout the construction, the crew finds remnants of the building’s previous structure. Last week, they discovered the old steps and hallway that had connected the former gym to the locker rooms during the period from 1925 until the mid 1950’s.
