Construction Update January 28 2013

Construction crews are back up to speed after the cold weather snap. Brickwork is in progress on the west side of the academic wing. Concrete on the second level of the academic wing was poured on one side today. The steel beams above the media center continue to be placed. HVAC duct work, plumbing and electrical continue on the main level in the academic wing and office area. Preparations for the gym area continue. Media furniture and lockers will be determined this week and staff will be meeting with a vendor to discuss office and classroom furniture.

A two rotor concrete finishing machine floats across the top of the concrete to level and smooth the floor. Video of the machine will be on the you tube page.

Most of the steel beams for the roof support are in place above the media center.

Brick work has begun on the west side of the academic wing.

A spray foam insulation was sprayed on the block and there is a visible gap of around 4 inches for the brickwork to float. Hooks cemented between the bricks latch onto eyelets cemented between the block to create space and allow movement.
