BIS Gym Construction Has Begun! →

April 19, 2022

It might not look like a lot, but much work has already been completed.  

Many of the existing utilities transfer through the old gym to other parts of campus. During the summer of 2021, the contractor detached and rerouted the gas, water, and telecommunication lines ensuring that all services would be up and running for the first day of school.

Summer break also allowed for the safe demolition of the existing building and building pad preparation. On the first day of school, students noticed the missing building and new construction fence.

At the beginning of the year, the foundation was dug, rebar laid, and concrete poured. Alten Construction did an excellent job coordinating over 100 concrete truck deliveries to the center of campus while keeping students safe and school activities functioning as usual. Over 800 cubic yards of concrete were delivered - the equivalent of approximately 10 backyard swimming pools.

Are you wondering what comes next?

The site is about to get very exciting. The structural steel is going to be delivered in the next month. And erectors will begin bolting and welding the steel together. Students and Staff will see the physical form of the building for the very first time. 

Hopefully, the campus can begin to imagine how this new building will: benefit physical education, welcome guests to the campus, connect to the community through parks and recreation, and enhance student movement around and through the center of campus.

All construction projects have their challenges and this one is no exception. For example, this project faces; construction in the center of an existing and active campus; construction with additional COVID requirements; and construction during a global supply chain crisis. One thing that can counteract those challenges is a good contractor. Alten Construction has gone above and beyond in its planning and execution for this project to prevent unnecessary delays and guarantee that the District gets the building they expect.

We are delighted to continue working with the District and Alten Construction to see the completion of this project and hope the campus enjoys the final building.
