June 25, 2024 - Roofing, Seismic Work
June 25, 2024 - The roof over the school is being refurbished.
Reinforcing bars (rebar) have been added in areas where concrete footings will be poured for seismic reinforcement, including a hallway, classrooms and several walls in the gym.
Crew members are also adding reinforcing braces along the wall-to-floor joints in the gym.
Exterior siding work continues.
June 18, 2024 - Summer Remodeling Begins
June 18, 2024 - Old siding is being removed at the front of the school to prepare for installation of new siding.
After removing the drywall in a hallway, crew members cut the adjacent concrete floor. This enables drilling several feet under the floor to place seismic supports for the walls.
Walls are also exposed in the gym to prepare for seismic upgrades.
The seismic supports will be installed in the areas behind the gym walls.
Specific walls in classrooms are also being prepared for seismic upgrades. The plastic sheeting helps minimize debris and dust from leaving the construction area into the rest of the classroom.
In the kitchen, a crew member adds plumbing for an equipment upgrade.
