Construction is moving along at Southside Elementary School

Construction continues at Southside Elementary School with structural steel work wrapping up. The northwest stairwell's exterior walls are nearly complete, and the air/vapor barrier has been applied to the south side of the building. Three heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units have been set into place on the roof. On the third floor, interior framing is progressing on track, and mechanical work will soon follow. The concrete decks are complete and roofing materials have been loaded onto the roof for installation to begin soon.

Did you know?

Construction crews have started assembling a temporary exterior building enclosure, which is necessary to keep the interior of the structure above 55 degrees for construction activities, such as drywall work, to continue on schedule.
