Summer construction is in full swing!
Outside the building, crews are wrapping up soil preparation work using a process called soil stabilization in the stadium area. Once complete, the area will be ready to pour the new curb around the track. Meanwhile, the new gym addition is coming along nicely as the foundation is being poured soon.
Demolition is ongoing in the classrooms and hallways in preparation for new finishes

Did you know?
Soil stabilization is a process where the physical properties of soils are altered to increase the strength or bearing capacity. This is often done by using Portland cement or a lime-based mix to form permanent bonds between soil particles. Soil stabilization is key to providing a strong working platform for the foundation and all other parts of the project.
