Construction Update 8-16-2016

Here is the latest on construction project.  The building inspector has approved the building for occupancy and we are working to take care of few minor things in preparation for Day 1.  Parts of the outside areas around the school are officially construction zones - requiring hard hats - and are off limits to the students and the general public for safety reasons.

Here is Door D-1, sidewalk is ready along with ramp to mobile classrooms M1 - M4.  Both sides are fenced in for safety purposes.

Here is Door C-1, also ready to go.  The area across the bus loop is a construction zone and is off-limits to the staff, students, and general public due to safety.  A parent asked me the other day if the hillside will be be cleared and ready for sledding in the winter.  A very interesting question - maybe not for this year, but we'll see.

The stairwell in the commons is not quite complete - waiting on the railings, risers, and treads to be installed.  Should be ready soon.  We have walled off the area to keep everyone safe.

Here is the lower commons with the temporary wall in place.  The new carpet has been installed and tables will be ready for students tomorrow.  Our Art teachers plan to hang some student artwork on the walls to spruce things up a bit.

Construction Update 7-22-2016

Here's a quick rundown of the construction project on the Ryle campus.

Outside of the lower commons. The windows and the sidewalks have been removed. The foundation of the new commons area is next. 

We will have the original commons space back the beginning of this school. The addition is expected to be finished sometime mid-year.

The exit outside Room 105, you can see the foundation and the walls of the classroom addition starting to go up. 

The classroom addition view from the second floor. Here you can see part of layout of the hallway and classrooms. 

These two pictures show where the hallways will continue forward into the new classroom addition. The estimated completion date of the classroom addition will be the 2017-18 school year. 

New ventilation ducts and lighting going up in the lower commons. 

This new stairwell in the commons will help the flow of foot traffic throughout the day and especially at lunch. 

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
