Site Visit -- December 8, 2011


Mark Bellingham, Project Manager, Monarc Construction, at today's Project Meeting.


Ceiling in the foyer area. the shiny pipes are for heating and air conditioning, the small diameter black pipes are for the sprinkler system and the hanging wires, which are difficult to spot, will support the ceiling grid. An arduous task to get everything to fit in the very small spaces that have been allowed for these backbone items.


Level 3 electric panels. One of the very well appreciated amenities in this project -- from the Business Office's perspective for sure!



Level 4 Great Space subflooring. This was unexpected; once we pulled up the wall-to-wall carpet and the old linoleum tiles in the Loft we found an odd, spongy subflooring; a fun-house experience walking around. In addition the floor joists were structurally enhanced at the time of the loft renovation in a piecemeal fashion giving less support than was needed. Understandable as the Loft was at one time just an attic. Well, not to worry; now everything has been redone and sealed with solid plywood subflooring.


The former computer room looking towards the former Loft area incorporating what was the clay room. This room will be the 7th Grade Homeroom and Foreign Language Classroom in the renovated building.
