The 2009 school year has begun for MSAD #29 and the work at HHS finished in certain areas of the building right as scheduled.  There currently is ongoing work with a new sprinkler system and also doing electrical work and other minor work in the hallway outside the auditorium.  The general reaction from the students on their new looking school is one of awe and they also think it is pretty cool.  There is still work to be done in the cafeteria from now through harvest vacation including finishing the ceramic floors, installing a trophy case, ticket kiosk and bench.  The auditorium is now the big focus of the construction project and a full work load continues including pouring concrete floors, working on rails for the balcony and building some walls for the vestibules. There is still a lot of electrical and ventilation work continuing in this space.  It is a major work in progress more to come next month.

By August 14th with only one more full week of summer vacation to complete major work at HHS, things are moving along very fast. Currently the following things are finished or near completion:

Newly constructed curved entry area from parking lot has been completed with doors, paint, windows, lighting. Exterior and interior trim work to be completed soon.

Entry into cafeteria nearing completion including new walls, new drop ceiling, paint and VCT flooring to be completed soon. There will be a delay on the new ceramic tile to be installed, which will go in during harvest break in October. Lighting is being completed very soon.

Paint…Lets just say we are golden!

New kiosk, ticket booth area, bench and trophy case are not installed yet. Completion of these major builds are still in the works.

Main hallway outside the auditorium will still need new doors to auditorium, panel trims around doors, and items to rehang in the hallway will be moved around and spaced out appropriately.

The auditorium is a major work in progress, but we are happy to say the steel work for the wrap around mezzanine is in place. New doors to back of stage are ready and major electrical items are being worked on.

The history area across from the auditorium is complete and ready to move in. Clean up of the band room is almost finished and hopefully ready for hundreds of instruments, thousands of musical scores and coutless props, costumes and other items.

As work keeps progressing, more updates will be given. Lots of things to do, so little time.
