Week 27
I walked through the building this week with the high school campus director Chris Murphy and together we enjoyed seeing all the features we had requested and all the special detail designed by the architect, Chris Sgarzi. The masons are installing the interior masonry wall in the corridors which matches the exterior building masonry. Chris Murphy pointed out how durable this is and how appropriate it is for a high school population. We walked into the team room and could now see the impressive size of the room since the sheet rock is mostly in place. Chris remarked that this room would get substantial use. The gym now is defined more clearly and we both stood and appreciated the size of the space. Chris pointed out that the two cross court basketball courts were quite generous in size and could easily provide space for two full court basketball games. We then turned to look through the glass windows that separate the gym from the fitness and wrestling rooms and were so impressed with the space available in these rooms. Fitness now at the high school is in the loft of the old gym and wrestling is in the old swimming pool building on a concrete floor. The new wrestling room has a sprung synthetic floor designed for both wrestling and dance. As we left the building by the front entrance we could see the new skylights and the glass walls going into place that will separate the lobby from the entry area. Once out of the building we stopped to see how the progress was coming with the new gas line. Work started this Tuesday on Hale Street to bring the gas line from the Woodside dorm area to the new athletic center. The athletic center project is right on schedule. I cannot wait to hear students and faculty enjoying their new facility.
