While students got some well-deserved time off from their studies, it was all-hands-on-deck for the construction team at La Follette High School. A few hallways were temporarily closed over the week, as crews worked hard to get ahead on demolition before summer hits. These areas include the north locker room, the front office, and the commons.
Construction crews continue to work on finishes in the new gym, weight room, lobby, concessions area, and health sciences, fashion and interior design, childcare, and kitchen/life skills classrooms.
Updates on current and upcoming work
- Putting on the final coat of paint for the new training spaces and athletic entrance this week
- Installing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing finishes
- Conducting demolition of the north locker rooms
- Installing partitions in the new lobby bathrooms once the
ceramic tile has been completed
