Spring Break Construction

Spring break has allowed the construction crews to progress quickly this past week.  When we return to school on Monday, several changes will be obvious.

The white bricked area will eventually have our school name on it. 


The metal sheeting has been added over the curved awning area.  The two new walls have been bricked. 

MEDIA CENTER
Workers are adding electrical work in the media storage/work areas.


Electrical wiring is being added to the computer station that will be in the media center.


This is a view of the hallway that enters the media center.  The doors to the right are the workroom/storage area.  The area to the left will be the reading center. The doorway on the left goes into the computer lab.


This view shows the doors to the media workroom.  The windows are behind the area that will be the main desk/checkout area. 


The electrician is adding wiring to the computer lab.  The lab can be accessed via the media center.


This is the first curved embellishment over the reading center.

ADMINISTRATIVE AREA
Workers are adding air conditioning units to offices. 

The curved embellishment has been added to the vestibule. 


Entrances to new offices.


This is the hallway that leads from the front office area to the back offices.


Electrical wiring is added to the front desk area.


This view is from the new main hallway looking out to the front entrance.  Curved embellishments have been added above the trophy/display cases. 

COUNSELING OFFICE AREA


This is the main area that has the counseling office, speech room, and intervention room. 


Ms. VanDyke has emptied her room and moved into the new hallway. 


Mrs. Taylor was also in the process of moving her classroom. 


As Mrs. Fosson began moving, she realized that she had a lot of stuff packed into this office. 
The tile has been removed from the area outside the counseling office.

The tile has been removed from the entire hallway that runs by the library.  The plastic will be removed when we return to school. 

This is the new entrance to the media center.  The door that can be seen in the right corner of the photo is the old office entrance. 

CAFETERIA AND CAR HALLWAY
Workers have torn up the flooring in front of the stage in the cafeteria. This will eventually be a hallway. 

Worker Josh brings in concrete to finish the area.

This is the entrance into the hallway from the cafeteria.  The plywood on the left is covering an opening into what will be the new main hallway.

This is the middle of the wall that the lunchroom tables are usually up against.  The doorway leads straight into the new vestebule. 



The car hall had a large trench in it this week.  (Thanks to worker Josh for the picture.)
The trench has now been filled.



New railings have been added to the stairwell by the temporary office.
