During the week of July 18 - 22 Monarc Construction continued demolition work in the Dent Building. The classrooms have been restored to their original size -- no more Level 3 bathrooms, the staff room is gone, the manny office is no more. Wow -- the rooms are large! The final design will retain much of the space that has been created through the demo process.
The most dramatic aspect of this phase is the work on the central core running from the main entrance foyer and steps up to Level 2, the Business Office and the Rose Window Room. This entire space is now open. The Head of School's office, an enlarged Rose Window area, and what should be a dramatic entrance foyer will be constructed in this space.
Scrolling through the photographs:
1. Monarc's artist-in-residence has protected the Rose Window symbol over the Level 2 rear exit door.
2. Monarc was surprised to "discover" this new stairway that was not on any plan. It is the former PreK storage closet.
3. Dumpsters come and go as the rubble is moved offsite.
4. The near area is the former secure storage room behind the Receptionist's Office. The far stairwell connected Levels 1 and 2.
5. This is the former Drama Closet on Level 4. The elevator will be located in this spot.
6. Recycled brass hardware from the interior classroom doors.
7. Refinished interior doors that will be reused following renovations.
