Construction Progress Report #10

West Wing Classroom Framing
The west classroom wing (see photo in ‘read more’) is in full swing. Framing is complete on the 1st level, skylights installed, and roofing complete. The concrete openings are getting ready for window frames and glass. It’s the contractors goal to get the building “dried in” as soon as possible. It is important to get the openings closed to keep the water out, and keep heat in the building for the drywall mud to dry. The steel for the two main stairways between the first and second floors is in and the concrete base will be poured soon. You can really begin to see the layout of the school come together.
Construction Progress Report #9
October 24, 2011
Site work is wrapping up for the season. The 1st layer of asphalt was installed for erosion control. The asphalt will allow the water to flow in the necessary directions into the functioning storm system. All the water collected onsite flows to a sediment pond in the north east corner of the property. The water will settle and then continue down the ravine in 30” inside diameter concrete pipe to the Nehalem. Landscapers are onsite getting ready parking lot planters read for topsoil, and working on getting the multi-use field leveled and seeded.
New Spencer Park Town Hall Scheduled

The Spencer Park Executive Committee met last week to review several configuration options for the New Spencer Park (the park that will replace our existing school buildings). These ideas, and the opportunity for you to share additional input, will take place on Thursday October 20th (7 pm in the cafeteria) immediately following the regular board meeting (at 6 pm). Please come and see what concepts are being discussed and share your ideas.
There is also a link to an online survey about the new park that on our homepage at www.vernonia.k12.or.us.
