Dent Progress Meeting -- September 15, 2011

Monarc Construction, our contractor, cox graae + spaak, the architects, the School, and our project manager meet on a regular basis to review progress on the Dent renovation project. From left to right, Robin McGrew, our architect, Ron Wetzel, Monarc's Site Supervisor, Mark Bellingham, Monarc's Project Manager, and Tom Bien, the School's Project Manager. We meet in the Second Grade classroom.

The elevator shaft is under construction. For many weeks Monarc was digging down to create room for the elevator housing. With that phase complete the beginnings of the shaft have taken place on Level 1 in the space that used to be the entrance to the Kindergarten classroom.

Most of the structural steel is in place on Level 1 so the "action" has moved up one floor. The shoring, or temporary supports, are supporting the ceiling to Level 2. The perspective is from the PreK-K classroom looking towards the original entrance of the School. The PE office, the Business Office, and stairs to nowhere have been removed. Steel beams are on site; once they are in place then the scaffolding will be removed and taken up one more floor to support the ceiling in Level 3.
