March Ushers in Work on New Areas of Renovation

As the month of February ended, some of the work crew’s attention was focused on completing some of the excavation work and clearing the way for installation of new components of the construction. Such work included the final excavation of the foundation for the columns that would support the classroom retrofit of the old auditorium, properly removing more uncovered asbestos, and removing old sanitary sewer pipes.

The work made way for the installation of the new sanitary sewer pipes, gravel being pumped into the foundation. Work continues as steel arrives for the gym/ health and wellnesss area and the loading dock and cafeteria area. Stud walls started going up in the new computer and media lab as well as the sixth grade area. Windows were cut into a classroom that had previously had no windows and the crew touched up the drywall on the third floor in preparation for painting and tiling.

Once again, on March 8, Principal Sean Aiken visited the site. He saw first hand the work starting in new areas of the project. The foundation was started for the art and band room addition. New steel beams were being installed as well as a new entrance for the health and wellness area. The crew was cutting places for new windows, painting classrooms on the third floor and finishing up the insulation of HVAC pipes on the third floor.

Work started on the new storm water sewer behind the stadium area along Route 65.
