McGill Elementary

• Construction continues on the new administrative, nurse and library addition.
• Structural steel is going up and roof decking is being installed.
• Concrete slabs are being poured for the classroom addition, making the overall footprint of the expanded campus more visible.

New Glenn Middle School

• The project is reaching another major milestone as the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) moves forward for approval, allowing construction to begin.
• The construction trailer is already on site, with crews prepared to begin moving dirt following approval.
• The project is currently approximately $3 million under its construction budget, with additional contingency funds outside of that amount.
• Portions of the city's design review have already been approved, helping the project remain on schedule.
• New renderings highlighted the two-story commons, library, competition gym, weight room, classrooms and main entrance.
• The commons will feature natural light through durable translucent fiberglass roof panels designed to provide insulation and withstand severe weather.
• The new competition gym will include bleachers on both sides, cross-court configurations and controlled natural lighting.
