Did You Know? In the current phase of first-floor renovations, there are approximately 2,426 square feet of new vinyl composite flooring (VCT) in the hallway. Throughout the entire school building, there are approximately 33,554 square feet of new VCT flooring in the hallways. If each flooring tile was placed in a straight line, it would be approximately 6.35 miles long. To put this in perspective, the line of tile would almost cover the entire distance from West High School to the Dane County Regional Airport!
