Student Activities Center:


Sitework: Site activities are ongoing in preparation for the start of school on August 27th.  The first lift of asphalt is complete on the new access road off of Mendota Heights Road.  Next week a strip of asphalt will be installed in the plaza between the new building and the stadium to provide access during the athletic season.  The parking areas and site fencing are being adjusted to accomodate student and faculty parking.  Below is an image of the parking and staging plan:

Building Structure and Enclosure: Exterior precast wall panels continue to be erected along with structural steel.  Roofing and exterior window installation will begin in September on gymnasium spaces with the classroom space to follow shortly after.  Interior work such as walls, slabs and mechanical rough in will follow the roofing.  The building is scheduled to be enclosed by the end of November.
