Big Changes

The construction team is moving quickly on the front area of our building.  This area will have new square footage added that includes our administration and office areas and a new media center on the second level. 



This is the school mascot that was painted by a parent/employee, Kim Stone, in 1993. 

Trenches were dug in the old lobby area to accommodate plumbing for the new restrooms that will be on the first floor. 

 
This area was the old restrooms across from the library. The flooring under the old tiles needed to be replaced. 
Now the area has a nice new concrete flooring.


 This is the upper floor from the perspective of the old office.  The room in view would have been Mrs. Sowers' room. 


This is the view looking toward the other end.  The far end area were the restrooms across from the library. 

The workers have been working on the new square footage.  The entry way into the building will be a floor to ceiling glass circular entry.  When you walk in, the office will be to the left and straight ahead will be doorways into the new hallway that runs down one side of the cafeteria. 


A new wall has been added against the old cafeteria wall to create the new hallway. 


This is the same hallway, the walls to the left will be a part of the new Family Resource Center. 


Masons are working on the brick wall that will create the hallway as you enter the atrium. 




The portion of the lower level that is under Mrs. Sowers' old room will be home to administrative areas.  This worker is currently installing piping for a new restroom. 

This is a view of the new office area as if you are standing in the new glass atrium. 

This is a view of the front entrance before any of the new square footage had been added.  

Looking from the second level, the wall in the bottom right is for the PSA's office and the walls on the top left corner are the Family Resource Center areas.   
 This is a ground view of the same area as above. 

A crane hoists beams to begin adding the floor for the second level. 


 The beams are in place.

 
The flooring for the new media center now has a concrete floor. 

 The students from our Renovation 101 Team, tour the construction site with one of our architects.  The students are learning about how our new building will be much more energy efficient than the old building.
