Construction Update

Construction is still in full swing at the high school. Now that the roof has been placed over the new science addition, most of the work here for the past week seems to have involved the installation of plumbing and electrical lines. It looks like they'll soon be ready to start putting up the interior and exterior walls...at that point the new science wing will really take shape.

This wing will consist of three new classrooms. One will be a traditional science classroom/lab that will allow the four science teachers in our building to each have their own space. The second room will be the new home of our Pathways Program (investigating technologies classes), and the third will be the eventual house the EDTEC biotechnology program.
The other two areas of construction are also progressing quickly. The footprint of the new EDTEC center is now apparent since crews poured the concrete foundation and floors of those buildings:And work is also well underway on the new auditorium:

Construction Update

Work is progressing on the new science rooms at EHS. Last week, crews poured the concrete foundation and floors, and we got the first glimpse of the "footprint" of our new space. Later in the week, they brought in a crane and erected the vertical support beams. This morning, the crane was back, and the roof beams were set in place:

With the skeleton of the new science pod now visible, it's hard not to start getting excited to move into the MUCH NEEDED new space. I'll continue to post updates and photos throughout the project.

Construction Update

Last week our local board of education approved the architectural plans for the additions to the high school. You can see them here. They are definitely scaled down versions of what was originally proposed, but should give us some much needed addition facilities, especially in the science department.
