Students and staff at Swope Middle School are anticipating the completion of their brand new classroom building, as the site crews make notable progress witnessed by the Swope community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are approaching new milestones that will help prepare us to welcome students and staff into their revamped learning space upon project completion,\u201d said Casey Gunther, Operations Manager for United Construction. \u201cWe appreciate everyone\u2019s patience and enthusiasm as we shape up the expansions and renovations at the school.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the new two-story classroom area, the on-site construction team is in the process of installing the new roof. Upon roof completion, the building will be dried-in. Crews have \u201cone-sided\u201d the drywall in several sections on the first floor and will continue this work on the second floor after roofing work is complete. After the building is dried-in, the team will be able to use a crane to install the new mechanical equipment onto the roof towards the end of this month. Additionally, all the metal stud framing is complete. Crews will continue to work on the rough-in of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and this process should be complete in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Concurrent to the performance of the physical work on-site, United Construction is holding pre-installation meetings with key subcontractors to plan work on the existing classroom building. Their goal is to commence work that can be done before Washoe County School District releases for the summer, as well as the work that will need to be performed during summer break.<\/p>\n
United Construction will continue to update neighbors with current construction information.<\/p>\n
