Theater

The Performing Arts building will include the renovated theater and classrooms for band, choir, orchestra, drama and visual arts. Completion is expected by December.

Work currently under way includes:

Roofing installation and weatherization

Upper perimeter walls/parapet around the top of the building

Mechanical and electrical installation, including sprinkler systems

Inside, installation of wallboard continues throughout the structure, followed by painting, ceiling grids and finish work.

Main Building

With the demolition over the summer of the old gymnasium, J hall and shop building, work is well under way on the three-story main academic building, scheduled for completion in early 2014.

Current work under way includes installation of forms and reinforcing steel and concrete being poured for stair towers of the new building.   Crews are installing utilities at the north entrance to the school for connection to the site. This work may cause some closures of the sidewalk on the west side of 25th Avenue Northeast and traffic control on the street.
