Valley Construction - June 2006

Update through June 15, 2006

1C (New 2-Story)
Site work now in full swing. Utility connection to the street on 39th is in process. Driveway and sidewalks being poured around the two-story. Installation of new south doors between the mechanical room and two-story are underway. Painting in process in the south Commons between the field house and new two-story. Exterior doors for the west end of the south Commons have been installed.

1st floor – Most sheetrock hung and the taping operation in process. HVAC in operation, although not fully under control in the entire building. All interior door and window frames installed, however, glazing still needs to be completed.

2nd floor – Prime and first coat paint nearly complete, corridor tile all in place, and floor grinding underway in art classrooms. HVAC duct work continues in the hallways. Ceiling grid installed in certain classrooms. Bathroom floor and wall tile set and grouting underway. Corridor floor tile in process with south, west, and north areas set.

Occupancy scheduled for 1C by Winter Break, if not sooner.

1B (Infill of Tiger Court & area between Field House and existing building)
Commons & infill – Work virtually complete in this area with a temporary Certificate of Occupancy. Final CO to be issued once exit lighting can be observed after all furniture, fixtures, and equipment has been installed in the Media Center. That move into 1B is scheduled for mid-July.

All on target for opening 1B when school starts.

Field House
While work in the field house is being done directly by the District, all the old bleachers have been removed as has the original floor. The underlayment for the new wood floor is being installed and the finish boards are being acclimated to the temperature and humidity for that area.

Kitchen Air Conditioning
Work has started on this summer project and is on target for completion before school starts late this summer.
