As the spring semester is now in full swing, so are Findorff construction crews! Lots of progress is being made on the new cafeteria and music addition, the remaining lower-level locker rooms, and this phase of the third-floor science classroom renovations.
Despite cold and snowy weather, construction crews have been working diligently to maintain schedules and push forward before the busy summer season approaches.
Updates on current work:
- Finished the concrete flooring on the second floor of the cafeteria and music addition
- Installed metal roof joists and decking, with the roof insulation work beginning soon
- Wrapped up the concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls for the new lower-level locker rooms and athletic offices
- Completed mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection work in the third-floor science classrooms, allowing drywall patchwork to begin
- Finished the new elevator that will serve the Welcome Center
DID YOU KNOW? The metal roof decking on the cafeteria and music addition is perforated, which provides an acoustic ‘deadening’ effect that helps dampen echoes and noise in the room. The perforations (i.e. holes) enable sound to pass through and be absorbed by specialty insulation installed within the flutes of the metal roof decking.
Air/vapor barrier, window installation, and roofing will begin shortly on the cafeteria and music addition along Fourth Street
Metal roof decking has been installed on the structural roof joists above the cafeteria and music addition
Masonry crews installed CMU block walls in the lower-level locker rooms
The lower-level locker room renovations include upgraded locker room facilities, coaches' offices, bathrooms, and a new training room
