Technology moving in,
final inspections underway

Work at Wainwright is quickly wrapping up with technology starting to move in this week.

While the district remains on track to open the new Wainwright no later than Jan. 3, we are working hard to move sooner. We are currently working through final inspections to make sure the building is safe and ready to go, then we will be able to work with the City of Fircrest on a temporary certificate of occupancy and determine an official move-in date.

The following photos were taken the week of Nov. 7.

 

 
District staff moved in this week to begin setting up networking and technology at Wainwright. Here they are pictured setting up the teacher collaboration space.
