At its August monthly meeting, members of the Wayne Local Board of Education voted to award phase II of our construction project to Monarch Construction based in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Monarch is a general contractor specializing in the construction of

There was a lot of energy and movement around the back area of the school this week as asphalt trucks laid the first layer of asphalt.  Landscaping crews work to fill in the islands in preparation for the final layer of asphalt.  Additionally, rake trim was added to the barn along edges of the roof.  

In addition to the old bus barn demolition and clean up, the school grounds have seen some finishing touches going on around the new bus barn.  Most recently, new sidewalks form the directional flow of traffic in the back parking lot area.  A new fuel tank has been installed as well to the right of the new bus barn.  

Over the last few weeks since school has been out, we have been able to remove the old bus barn.  This is necessary because it stood in the location where the new elementary school building will be built.   This is excited to continue seeing

The exterior garage doors for the bus barn were installed this week.  Additionally, the interior work continues as office, restroom, and storage spaces are laid out and framed.  We are expecting phase 1 of the construction project to be completed near the beginning of August.  

It's always interesting to see before and after shots of a project.  While we plan to post the pictures when the bus barn is complete, we can see major steps along the way in the progress as finishing touches become complete.  Below you will see a

Thanks to the world of technology and the help of a local resident, parent, and community member, Jeremy Foley, we have been able to capture aerial shots of the barn construction zone.  Along with these images, there are overal school building pictures

This week at the construction site, we've seen several areas of progress that we want to share with you.  First, the siding has begun on the bus barn itself, along with furlim cross supports along the roof beams. There is also a trench that extends

While we were on Spring Break, construction continued and this week we saw a new group enter the scene...the masons.  Their expert masonry work has given a different look to the new structure as brick form the bottom half of the walls.   We've

This week on the construction site of the new bus barn, we've seen the addition of roof beams with the use of equipment lifts.  

There's also been a fair amount of ground movement and things have gotten quite muddy in the surrounding areas.  

The new bus barn is getting easier to envision as we saw a few more changes this week. 

Vertical structure supports are put into place which will frame the new building.   

As promised and right on time, the concrete trucks and concrete pump were busy pouring the foundation of the new bus barn today.   Once the concrete has set up, they will be covering the new floor with blankets to prevent freezing. The schedule

From a distance, it looks like a pool of blue, but once up close, you see that the foundation is being prepped this week for a concrete pour on Friday.   The blue plastic sheets cover the sub-foundation, followed by mesh supports, and finally,

Now that the footers have been poured and set, the next step is to lay the foundations for Electrical and Plumbing.  The contractors will revisit both electrical and plumbing several times before the project is complete because both pieces require
