Cadet Construction: Cadet Construction Update

Student Activities Center:

Building Site: Crews are working hard to get much of the site related activities completed before winter weather arrives. The loading dock slab has been poured and the first lift of asphalt has been completed in the paved areas. The second and final lift is scheduled for this week. The irrigation system has been installed and trees planted along the south side of the site. The remainder of site will be stabilized in preparation for winter. Next spring the entry plaza concrete will be installed, irrigation system started up, and final seeding of the turf grass completed.

Building Exterior: The erection of the precast and steel structure is complete. The windows in both gymnasiums have been installed and the roofing completed. In the "link" between the gymnasiums and the existing school building the roofing is 80% complete with framing of the main entry ongoing. The windows and curtain wall at the front entry will be installed in November.

Building Interior: The placement of interior slabs is nearly complete with only the practice gymnasium topping slab remaining to be poured. Interior masonry walls are ongoing in the gymnasiums and will finish with the restrooms and ancillary spaces in November. The interior mechanical equipment has been set into the building and interior piping and power connections are ongoing.

The painting of the gymnasiums will start soon with athletic equipment being installed right behind the painters. As soon as masonry walls are completed the terrazzo flooring in the hallways and lobby will begin.

Early in 2013 the gymnasium wood flooring will start with bleachers scheduled for installation around March.
