Elementary School Updates

Construction on the addition at Parkview Elementary is moving along quickly now that site grading is complete. Before any construction took place, crews relocated a stream that moved through the site. The foundations, steel framework and new entrance road are nearly finished. When complete at the end of the year, the addition will feature a new administrative area, multi-purpose room and classroom wing that will house several of the magnet school’s arts programs. 

Pleasant Garden Elementary is eagerly awaiting construction of a new classroom addition any day as this project has just been awarded to Morlando-Holden Construction. When finished, the addition will house six classrooms, two resource rooms, a teacher work room, kitchen, dining room, restrooms, storage and equipment rooms. The school will also receive new driveways in the project.

 

There is good news all around at Oak View Elementary School.  The 20,000 square foot addition is complete and ready for use.  This summer the second phase will take place with the addition of a new drop off entrance and parking areas.  This will be complete in time for the start of school this coming fall semester.

 

Northern Elementary is one of the final primary schools of the 2003 construction bond. Joining the new Northern Middle and Northern High, construction on this elementary school should complete in December. Site grading is complete on the 740-student capacity school, and concrete slabs have been poured. Currently, masonry walls are in progress. The classroom wings’ roofs are complete, and window installation is underway. In the meantime, HVAC, plumbing and electrical rough-ins are being installed.

GCS has received bids for the new Union Hill Elementary, and the award of the project should be made soon. Teachers are packing boxes for their move to the recently vacated Allen Jay Middle, where classes will be held while the new school is under construction.  The new Union Hill will utilize the same basic design as Guilford Elementary with modifications to fit on the site. The construction is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2008.
