3. Library Addition is framed and insulated.
4. They continue to paint and work on the ceilings.
5. Side walks are starting to go in and the south egress path is on the beginning stages.
6. Time is of essence and the clock is running for our move on May 23!!

We had a great Oversight Committee Meeting today and had a walk through the construction.

We continue to work on the Pond issue and make sure we keep updating our Capital plan as we get owners manuals from the Contractor.

Thank you for all your time for the Committee!

UPDATE

Wright and Morrissey has accepted the early substantial completion on Phase III on May 23, 2024!!
EMES Staff affected by this move will vacate the six classrooms on the West end of the 1965 addition. Asbestos abatement will start of May 27, 2014 for no more that 10 days.

On the site they are done installing new windows on the Phase III section.  They continue to finalize the roofing in the 1965 part of the School and they are busy finalizing the library framing and roof structure.
The New Cafeteria is all framed and closed in.  Plumbing inspection is done and now they are finalizing electrical, blocking and in some areas they are putting up the Sheet Rock!!  It is moving along fast and on schedule!!

Getting in an out of the drop off circle and parking is still hard so we appreciate your patience and remember it is temporary.   Most kids have taken a tour of the building and are enjoying seeing the progress.

The Oversight Committee is meeting twice a month every other Wednesday at 8:30 am and the main goal of the Committee is to make sure more people can be informed of the progress and can share with their neighbors and friends.  The Committee is also working on the Capital Plan with Todd's input.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to post them in this blog, email diazsmith.flor@gmail.com or Alyford@U32.org or call the School.
