July 2008: Science and technology wing accomplishments for July include completing the roof, achieving weather-tight status, finishing the exterior brick façade on the North side, completing sections of interior mechanical/electrical/plumbing work. In the existing high school, crews have been busy finishing locker room renovations and masonry restoration.
June 2008: The construction team has created a “mock-up” of the exterior wall. Mock-ups are examples of constructed materials which are approved by the Architect and owner to ensure quality and design intent. These mock-ups depict how the stone, brick, motor and window casings are constructed. Project team members work together prior to construction to make sure the mock-up illustrates how the final work should be completed by trade contractors in the field.Inside the building, MEP installation is advancing, including fire protection, plumbing and electrical overhead installation. This work began on the 2nd floor and will work upward through the 3rd and 4th floors through the end of June, then moving to the 1st floor.
