High School Renovations on Schedule

Turner Construction presents project update

 

The Beachwood High School renovations are on schedule and on budget, said representatives from Turner Construction Company at Monday's school board meeting.

Turner has billed 26 percent of the project's $35,560,000 budget and used 32 percent of its budgeted contingency money on the project so far.

The renovations is funded mainly by a levy voters approved in 2010. Federal stimulus money will pay a $5.6 million share of the cost.

Renovations are expected to end in time for the start of the 2013 school year.

Renovations are in their second phase: adding a second story to the gym and adding a music suite. Turner Construction added the electricity is finished and ready to run the entire building from the gym's basement.

Next, the 500 and 600-numbered wing will be renovated, then the 100-200 wing will be demolished and a new media center and north gym will be built.

Last week some trusses were blown down by high winds, but no one was injured.
