District Construction Update
Week of June 19th
On Track in Week 5
This past week was highlighted by the start of a few areas being put back together. Another section of the roof was completed, and roofing work began on the high roof above the Commons, Small Gym, and Tech Ed. spaces. The shower spaces saw new dividers for the individual shower stalls being built, with plumbing work continuing in all bathroom and shower spaces. Installation began this week on the new cabinets in the elementary classrooms.
PROJECTS
Roof Replacement
Higher Ground Roofing continues to progress quickly on the roof replacement project. The high roof over the large gym has been completed, as has the roof over the 2nd tier roof north of the high roof. Roof replacement began this past week over the 2nd tier roof east of the large gym, over the Commons, Small Gym, and Tech Ed spaces. Removal of the old ballast (rocks) continued this past week on several different areas of the roof in preparation for new roof installation.

Resurfacing of the large gym floor has been completed. As of this Monday, the large gym will be back open for our athletic teams to begin utilizing it for summer league, camps, and open gym. Stalker Sports Floors did a remarkable job of giving us a beautiful gym floor that we can be proud of for years to come. Work on the Small Gym will begin this upcoming week.
UPCOMING PROJECTS
Several projects will be kicking off over the next several weeks. Those projects include:
- Refinishing Small Gym Floor
- New Epoxy Resinous Flooring With Colored Paint Chips
- Outside Water Drainage Work in Courtyard
- Demoliton of Asphalt Parking Lots
- Installation of Concrete Pad for New Greenhouse
- Renovation of Upper Maintenance Shed
Access to Building
Much of our building is still accessible to staff, students, and the public. We ask any visitors to the building to park in the front (south) parking lot, and use the Middle/High School entrance to come into the building. Currently, the Commons, the hallway behind the large gym, all locker rooms, the maintenance hallway, and the middle school hallway are off limits to the public. Yellow caution tape identifies the areas that are closed off.
General Contractor
We're proud to partner with Kraemer Bros. Construction as the school district's General Contractor, managing the selection of subcontractors, timelines, and project completion. The district previously worked with Kraemer Bros. in the construction of the new school in 1990-91, and the building addition in 1996. We proudly support a successful business based out of southwest Wisconsin (Plain, WI).
Engineering, Architecture, and Design
The district has been working with FEH Design out of Dubuque, IA for the past year on the design, architecture, and engineering of our projects. Kevin and his team at FEH assisted the district through the pre-referendum process, facilitating several community meetings and a community survey. They stayed with us through the referendum, and continue to work with the district on any design or architectural changes as construction is happening.
