Dent Renovation Progress July 25 - 29






Monarc Construction estimates that it has completed 77% of the demolition work. Nothing remains of the center core but a small pile of rubble. Excavation work on the footings and the elevator shaft shows progress as well.

2. Loft "Great Space" Sunlight streaming in on the upper left is from the library entrance. The ladder on the right is where the drama closet used to be.

3. The Science Room minus (or now including) the Head of School's former office.

4. The PE Office.

5. Level One. The small opening on the left is the entrance to the PreK under-the-stairwell storage space. The remaining rubble is where the Receptionists' Office was. The construction debris and dirt unearthed from the footings is carried out bucket by bucket by the demolition crew.
