The project includes renovation of the existing cafeteria and kitchen, replacement of the existing fire alarm system and addition of a gymnasium and classroom. The gymnasium addition will also feature an ICC 500 storm shelter.

Challenges during preconstruction included delays in permitting which required a fast-tracked schedule to allow the additions to open in time for the 2021-2022 school year. The McCownGordon team worked with the client and leveraged McCownGordon relationships with trade partners to develop a plan to hit the client’s goals.
