Take a Look at the Front Hallway Progress

The work inside the front hallway has been much quieter over the last week or so.  The interior walls and doorways have been installed.  New load-bearing walls have been added to each classroom.  Electricians have been making sure we have plenty of outlets and data ports for computers.  Some lucky workers have also been busy scraping up all of the old floor tiles. 

One of the classrooms is being used to store electrical components. 

In a previous post I showed the masons building the load-bearing walls.  This is the finished product. 

The new inset doorways with a portion of the old wall. 

Standing at the back door allows a view of the hallway with new walls and inset doorways. 

Our old floor tiles. 

After much scraping, there are pieces of tile left to be swept up. 

Getting up all of the final small pieces of tile.  Notice how the doorways will look from inside the classroom. 

Dividing Construction Work from School Work

As the renovation process continues, a great effort is made to keep the construction team separated from the students and staff of CME.  This helps to ensure safety.  The metal fences have been erected in order to create defining boundaries from the work areas. 

The classroom at the end of the front hallway that is closest to the computer lab is one area that they have worked on so that the work area and debris are kept out of our active learning areas. 

The classroom wall was torn down.  The area with the black plastic is the hallway that leads downstairs to the entrance closest to the flag pole. 

It was replaced on the same day. 

In a former post you could see the temporary wall that was installed by the computer lab.  Since it was during the summer the wall had a doorway for the workers to use.  Since school has started, the door has been replaced with a solid wall.   

This is the new portion of wall from inside the classroom. 

Front Classrooms

Work continues on the walls for the front hallway classrooms. 


Worker Hunter knocks out blocks in order to prepare the area for the mason workers to begin.  This is the classroom at the front corner of the building. 

Half of the wall is complete.

Three of the remaining classrooms in the front hallway now have a wall.  Yea!!



The same wall as seen from the bus lane.
