If you have visited Nashoba Regional High School recently, you may have noticed large piles of soil and rocks in the campus construction zone, as well as large trucks entering and exiting loaded with dirt. However, it may be difficult to see the project's progress. To help with that, we are providing this drone video of the campus, so you can see what we have been working on in recent weeks.
Throughout September and October, construction teams have been preparing the foundation soil that will support the new building. In the drone video, you can see an outline of the Northwest wing extending toward the north fields. Over the next few months, foundations will be set, and by early spring (March), we expect to see the building's steel framework begin to take shape.
One of the exciting events in a school building project is the "topping-off" ceremony for structural steel. Students, staff, residents, and government officials will have the opportunity to sign the final steel beam before it is raised. It will be made available for signing in the weeks before the raising, and I will send out notices about these activities in the spring. We expect the structural steel to be completed sometime in July, and anticipate that signing activities will take place in June.
The building project is progressing well and remains on track for timely completion within budget. For more information about the building project, you can visit the School Building Committee page for agendas and materials or check the School Building Committee website.
