Busy, Busy, Busy.....

As the days tick away, the beginning of school is almost here.  The workers are here six or seven days a week so that everything is complete in time for school.  Here are some photos of things around the building. 

The back hallway has new exterior walls. 

In front of the gym and to the side of the new office area will be a new classroom and student restrooms. 

Work is being done on the wall that will separate the hallway from the stage area. 

This is the interior of the new classroom by the gym.

This is the interior of the new student restrooms by the gym.

In the old hallway the exterior walls have been built, but there is a great deal of work to be done inside each room. 

One of the electrical workers uses the small backhoe to dig a trench in a mechanical room on the bottom level.

The elevator has been installed.  If you can picture the old lobby, the new elevator door is where the glass display case used to be. 

The area has been painted and the ceiling tiles installed.  The hallway is the former car hall. 

Not many people realized that there was a "furnace room" located behind the stage.  The furnace has been removed and the electicians are preparing the room for its new use. 

The teacher workroom/lounge is getting its fair share of bricks.

This is the site superintendent, Darren.  It was quite amusing to watch him try to get the Skyjack into the doorway with only about a 1-2" clearance on each side. 

These doors are in the cafeteria and lead to the office vestibule. 

The center of this wall will be home to a new stage.  A temporary wall has been put up and painted. 

Floor tiles are being laid in the cafeteria. The curve pattern will match the embellishments in the ceiling.

A kindergarten room is waiting to be unpacked.

This smaller room is for our resource teachers.

Furniture has been delivered to the administrative area. 

Mrs. Duffy and Mrs. Vogler are getting their area organized.  The top of the small navy counter has not yet been installed.

Ceiling tiles are being installed in the media center. Looks like a fun way to work.

The flooring has been installed.  The curved pattern matches the embellishments. 

This is the entrance and the area where the check out counter will be.

Our computer lab is connected to the media center.  Do the windows look familiar?  This is the old office area.
