Campus Renewal Construction Updates: October 27

The latest update from Forrester Construction, our contractor for the new Arts & Community Center and Campus Commons, is now available. It offers a photo tour of the community spaces and classrooms in the new building.

While work continues inside the building, subcontractors have also been busy recently on the Campus Commons, adding layers to its surface. Asphalt was added this week as one base layer. The top layer of the Campus Commons -- coming soon as work progresses -- will be multi-colored pavers made from recycled asphalt in a random pattern, creating a safe surface for the multipurpose, central space that will be easy for students, teachers, and families to use every day and during special events. Recall that the above-ground trench drains on the  Campus Commons direct water to an eco-friendly stormwater vault to collect and filter rainwater, allowing it to percolate into the ground slowly to protect the surrounding watershed.
