Gym Building Update (March 8, 2024)
The construction group is pleased to report our progress for the week ended March 8, 2024.
Site Work: At this point the site work is all excavated for the entire construction area. Building footprint, parking lot, cafeteria parking area and various underground drainage for the building.
This week we began finalizing design of the Post and Beam entry and the exterior of building entry floor.
In the background on Site Work we are preparing for spring thaw and the contacting the building to the various utility hook up. ie: Water, Sewer, Electrical and data.
Concrete: We have 100% completed the footings, the foundation walls, foundation insulation and backfill of the foundation.
At this time the concrete work is on hold as the steel building is being erected.
Steel work: All of the buildings main steel beams and associated beams are in place. The roof is being prepared for roof panels and the walls are being prepared for wall panels.
The steel company spent this week putting in all the loose ends pieces of the frame. They are also putting the building in its final square. (Ensure the building is square and plum)
In the background we have on order our Foard Panels for the base of the building that will act as a back board for the stone veneer that will go on the building five feet high at the main building and two feet high at the lobby. Foard Panel is manufacturing those pieces at this writing.
As well the stone for the exterior of the building is on order and expected to arrive on March 11 to the site for installation.
The lobby continues to take shape and all the main steel is up for that building.
During this period there is alot of detail work going on with the steel frame. The frame is being further reinforced in anticipation of the Foard Panels going on and the stone exterior (up 5 feet)
Window details were finalized this week for the lobby are as well as the door details for the lobby area.
We will be reporting weekly the progress on the project.
