As of Memorial Day weekend, all school-related activities are now complete at Mansfield Stadium, which allows our site contractors to begin their big push to transform the grass field into a new artificial turf field. Work at Mansfield also includes grandstand work to add ADA seating areas and replace the bench seating. By next track and field season, there will also be a new track surface in place.
Work inside the school continues as well. The Digital Arts, School Store / Credit Union, and Locker Rooms will be completed in the first few weeks of summer. Starting next week, science classrooms, language classrooms, multiple bathrooms, and the cafeteria / commons spaces all will undergo improvements that will be ready for next fall.
Finally, work continues at the auditorium. Ceiling paint and drywall clouds are currently the focus, along with stage rigging repairs and electrical and audio/visual work.
Upcoming construction activity
- Excavating underground utilities / drainage pipe at Mansfield Stadium
- Installing ceilings and flooring in the digital arts classrooms
- Pouring slabs and wall framing / drywall inside the auditorium
- Demolishing wall, electrical, and HVAC at science & language classrooms
