And the Work Continues......

The renovation crews have been working tirelessly on our building.  Saturdays, Sundays, and even the Fourth of July finds the crews tearing down and rebuilding.  

Outside

Superintendent Darren works with concrete that is the base for the columns that will be installed out front. 

Work has begun on the new side walk out front.  

Worker Hunter levels out the gravel before concrete is poured. 

The gazebo area is quite a mess right now. 

 Administrative Area

For most people this may not be very exciting but having enough mail slots for the entire staff in one place is great. 

Cabinets have been installed in the work room that is located in the administrative area.  

The front office cabinets have been installed.  Part of the top pieces are missing and will be installed soon.  

The display cases in the new hallway have a tile surround.  One is navy and the other is..........

a vintage teal.  

The glass cabinet insert awaits installation. 

In the new hallway this area will be a bench for students.  The two openings are old cafeteria windows. 

Superintendent Darren has taken our principal, Mrs. Smith, on a walk through for project updates.  They spent a moment catching up in the new office.  

Cabinetry is being installed in the front office. 

The first aid room has a window that overlooks into the secretary's area. 

 Elevators, Stairs, and Classrooms

The wood is built over the area that was the stairwell.  

This is the old work room and will be home to our new lounge/workroom.  

This is a view of the old workroom from the first floor.  Notice the colorful paint from the old staff restrooms. 

This is the old workroom as seen from the doorway to the lounge. 

The old restrooms by the elevator have been destroyed and are being rebuilt. 

This new wall was formerly the outside wall in Mrs. Fosson's office and the special ed office. 

New concrete is being poured for the elevator shaft. 

The open space below was formerly Mr. Baker's office.  

This space was Mrs. Pickard's room at the bottom of the stairs. 

The doorway at the top of the stairs by the temporary office gets a new frame. 

The new stairwell is being installed.  This was formerly the entrance to the cafeteria. 

The stairwell is installed and awaiting concrete.  

This area will be the new music room.  The area in the forefront was the OT room and the back portion was the back half of the stage.  

Worker Hunter adds foundation supports for the new music room.  

On the first floor, work is being completed on the elevator shaft. 

This new embellishment is in the cafeteria on the new wall in front of the old stage area. 

Cabinetry is being installed in one of the new primary classrooms on the first floor. 

Cubbies are installed in the same classroom.

Old Hallway

Work continues on the remaining old hallway. 

A great deal of attention is being focused on the work in other parts of the building so the demolition of the back hallway is coming along at a slower pace.  

What a mess!!  Old insulation and ceiling tiles have been removed from one of the old classrooms.
