The renovation project officially begins with the initial work being conducted on the second level of West Campus in both the conference room and gymnasium areas.  Any major demolition required is anticipated to occur after school hours to reduce noise disruption during the school day.

Boxes for staff in the lower level have been delivered to begin the initial stages of placing items in a secured box for the move upstairs.  With the construction in the upper level, the anticipated plan would be to complete the necessary work by the first part of June so that the transition to the new space with materials can occur and be completed prior to June 17. 

As we move into May, I will have more specific information on the status of the work and the different phases of anticipated completion.  Stay tuned for more information as we go forward.
