Renovation Progresses

Last week before the rain started, the large crane and rig were brought in to drill and install the auger cast test piles. The test pile consisting of steel and concrete would set for seven days before being tested to withstand the weight of the structure it would eventually bear. Engineers were on hand to monitor the process.

On October 14th, Senator John Pippy visited the renovation site at the invitation of Dr. Clapper. Dr. Clapper and Dr. Ondek showed the senator the progress of the construction and explained the plans for the building, noting the specifics for the integrated arts wing that would be added. Senator Pippy and his staff were instrumental in securing a $250,00 grant for that addition that would house the arts and educational technology.

The gymnasium floor was removed in preparation for extending the building to accommodate the full regulation basketball court that will be a highlight of the gym’s renovation.
