PROJECT SUMMARY
Current Progress
We are in the final days of our 2021 summer construction program. Like previous summer project unexpected challenges arise which the Teams manage their way thru. Much of our current work is flooring, paint and wrapping up ceiling trim. This is occurring while Wight and Company and their subconsultants perform the punch listing process.
Maine East: The Center Court (Area E) furniture has been installed. There has been a material delay associated with the railings around the 2 story opening as well as the ramps. Temporary rails will be in place and once permanent rails arrive they will be installed on off hours / weekends. In addition there are acoustical panels that will be 2-3 week late. These panels at the upper level of the 2 story opening will also be installed on off hours to not impact District operations.
Area H (Girls Locker Room) epoxy floors are installed. This space will be ready less the lockers that will arrive several weeks after school starts.
Area H (Cafeteria) has seen significant transformation over the last month. From a demoed space to completion. The actual kitchen / servery as planned will be turned over after commencement of school but the cafeteria and surrounding commons area has been completed and furniture is currently being installed.
