Exciting news! The Gurney Parking Lot Project is moving along smoothly, and we're thrilled to share some progress photos. As you can see, the contractor has been busy with excavation and sidewalk work. This will ultimately lead to:
Improved parking: The west side of the drive lane will be transformed from gravel to paved parking, and the east side will gain several new spaces.
Increased capacity: This project will create more parking for staff, visitors, volunteers, AND provide easier access to our popular soccer fields!
Enhanced safety: Improved walkways and lighting will create a safer environment for everyone using the area.
Smarter drainage: Upgrades to stormwater management will improve drainage for the expanded parking area.
We're excited about the positive impact this project will have on our school community and can't wait to share more updates soon! Stay tuned! #CFConstruct
Improving Air Quality and Comfort: Recognizing the direct impact of indoor air quality on student performance, new HVAC systems components are being installed at the high school and middle school. This marks the final phase of a five-year project to modernize HVAC specifications across campuses. The upgrades will replace aging equipment and provide programmable temperature control and enhanced ventilation, ensuring comfortable classroom environments conducive to learning.
Out with the old, in with the new! The old flooring in our high school library has been removed, paving the way for new carpeting. This upgrade will create a warm and inviting space for students to curl up with a good book or hit the books for some serious studying.
Shining a Brighter Light on Learning at Gurney!
Exciting things are happening at Gurney Elementary! We're currently upgrading our classroom and hallway lights to eco-friendly LEDs. This means two big benefits:
Saving Energy: These new lights use less electricity, helping our school go green and reduce costs!
Brighter Learning: ✨ The dimmable LEDs will provide better quality light in each classroom, creating a brighter and more comfortable environment for learning.
Check out these sneak peeks of the project in progress!
Wishing our entire school community a safe and joyful Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🎆
Harris Stadium Track renovation project is on target. Yesterday, some unlying asphalt base was replaced.
The iconic roof of our high school gym is getting a much-needed upgrade! Thanks to age and its unique design with steel trusses above the roof deck, we're using a special fluid-applied membrane to ensure this valuable asset is protected from the elements for years to come. A big shout-out to @ThenDesignArch for designing this innovative and cost effective solution!
Block walls for the dugouts on the new varsity softball field are being constructed now and the project is on time with the contractors taking advantage of the sunny weather this week.
Photos of paving work happening this week on the 7-12 Campus. Annual paving improvements of this type attend to the wear and tear our driveways and parking lots that happen over time. Projects such as these extend the useful life of existing facility assets.
The new varsity softball field located at the 7-12 Campus is taking shape. The construction of the dugouts has begun with the footers for the foundations being poured and the infield being cut in according to the survey markings. More work will continue throughout the summer and the facility will be ready for play for softball season.
