This addition and renovation project was done in three phases to accommodate the school year and temporary relocations during the project.

In Phase 1 during the summer of 2009, renovation work was done on existing student restrooms, and also on storage areas for the library, this was in preparation for the future expansion into the addition.  This phase was completed before students returned in the fall.

Phase 2  was also started in summer of 2009.  The addition of 9000 SF for a new library and three new classrooms continued into the fall.  The walls and entrances to the new areas, were kept closed during this time.   This allowed construction on the addition to proceed even while school was in session.  This phase did have an exacting completion deadline for the students winter break.  During winter break, the school staff was scheduled quickly vacate the old library, to allow abatement crews to remove asbestos in the old library while the school was empty for the holidays.

Phase 3 began after Christmas break and completely renovated the former 9000 SF library space for a new student commons area.
