Amazing Transformations

As we prepared to go back to school last week, the construction teams were VERY busy making sure the building had everything that we needed.  Just see for yourself....

I think this is how the construction supervisors must feel everytime someone asks if the work is on schedule.

 

Before.....

 

after.  The letters went up on Friday.

  

The skeleton for the canopy at the end of the building went up.

 

And now it is almost finished.

Media Center



Our new computer lab!

 

The media center with all new furniture and shelving. 

 

After the books were unpacked the media center began to come to life.

 

The reading area is still a work in progress. 

 

The tables were enjoyed by students after the first day of school. 

 

Plenty of tables surround the display shelves. 

 

A seating area that overlooks the vestibule.

Old Hallway

The  back hallway is being demolished and rebuilt. 

 

The exterior walls have been demolished.  Only the load-bearing walls remain. 

 

This is the view from the end of the hallway.

 

This is one of two remaining murals that will be painted over.

 

This is the other mural.

 

The bulldozer takes out the remaining old cabinetry. 

Interior Work

Painters were busy until the last possible minute so that our building would be ready for school. 

 


Our wall of planets has received its coat of primer and is now completely painted.

 Preschool Playground

 

Mulch is being spread on the playground.

 

New fencing is being installed around the playground area.

 

 


The playground can be accessed from the canopy area.

Flooring



The floor tile installer worked on one of the multitude of curves that were designed into our floor patterns. 

 

The white tile was laid outside the trophy display cases.

 

This is the pattern in the cafeteria (before being mopped).

 

This is the area in front of the display cases.

 

The curves extend to the entrance of our cafeteria.

The front vestibule shines like a new penny.

Inside the Building

 

One of our display cases is ready to go.

 

The second case is waiting for items to display.

 

Our front office area is almost ready to go.

This is a view from our car hall looking toward the new music room. 

 

Our school store area is getting its share of attention.

 

The new stairwell is where the old entrance to the cafeteria was located. 

 

An additional office is located where the custodial office and boys' bathroom was located off the lobby. 

This new classroom was formerly the location of Mrs. Fosson's office and attached rooms. 

 

The new gang bathrooms by the elevator are ready to use.
