Pictures





The pictures show the progress around the building. The top picture is the outside of the student union with the top half of the windows installed without the trimming material. The next pictures in order show the inside of the gym, one of the science labs, and the last picture is inside a typical classroom with the tile and base installed.

Good Weather Helps




The progress has been fast the last few days. They have poured the curbs at the south end of the agri building and are preparing for the concrete and the asphalt on that end. The electricians are installing lights in the English/Social Studies section and the workers are installing ceiling grid in the area also. In addition, the painters have finished the interior walls in the Cafetorium. The Student Union is nearly ready for the windows and support areas. The pictures show the Student Union and the south end of the agri building.

Productive Week


The electricians and metal erectors have had a good week. They have made some great progress inside and out. The drywall finishers are currently working on the band/choir section. Also, the contractors have begun to put in the topsoil in front of the building and behind. The picture shows one of two signs that will be at the entrances. The letters are aluminum and will be installed when the signs are completed. You can mouse click the pictures to enlarge them. After you enlarge them, you can easily see the parking lot and irrigated islands in the background and beyond that and to the left as you are facing the sign is the area the football/soccer/field and track will be built.

Moving Fast





The progress has been unbelievable the last few weeks. It seems that everything that is done now is very obvious. They are finished with the drywall in the band and choral sections. They have installed most of the lights throughout the building. In additon, they have all the blocks laid on the interior and exterior. They are now installing sidewalks and preparing the south end of the building for asphalt. Michael Caine, with GAG, estimates the building is 80 percent complete. The pictures from top to bottom show the parking lot base as it is being installed, the walkway up to the student union, the band room, and the interior of the concession stand.
