CONSTRUCTION UPDATES
Since the first phase of construction began last month, crews are making abundant progress throughout the school this summer. Environmental and demolition work is complete in the classroom renovations on the third floor. In addition, workers have started site excavation for the cafeteria and classroom additions. In the new welcome center entrance, the foundation for a new elevator has been poured and the walls are being constructed. This new elevator will improve building accessibility for students, families, and visitors.

In the coming weeks, new drywall partitions will be installed in the third-floor classrooms, followed by mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection work to prepare for the new systems to be installed.

Ongoing construction activities:
  • Starting demolition in the lower-level locker room.
  • Building the elevator shaft in the new welcome center lobby to improve accessibility.
  • Beginning excavation work for the cafeteria and classroom additions.
  • Progressing with masonry restoration work throughout the building façade.
