New Rooms and a New Design

As the masons have continued to lay the concrete block, the walls for the new bathrooms, resource rooms, and mechanical rooms are in process.  Looking at the actual space is so much different than looking at a blue print.  (*Thanks to Electrician Dustin for all of the updates.)


This is a new resource room which is about half the size of a standard classroom.  This new room is located next to the restrooms. 

These two doorways are located next to the old part of the building.  They are in what used to be the gazebo hallway.  The door on the right will lead into a mechanical room.  The door on the left is for the custodial closet. 

This large double wide door frame is for the restrooms.  All students will enter the double doorway - girls go to the left and boys to the right.  This will be great for teachers because it will be easier to monitor both bathrooms at the same time.  There will be two water fountains on either side of the doorway. 

If you look up when you are inside the old portion of the hallway you will see black pipes.  These are the vent pipes for the plumbing. 


This was a very exciting feature to see today.  The workers did a test run of the soffet that will be above each classroom doorway.  The curve is a part of the architectural design that will be evident throughout the building.
