Site work is well underway for the new school
- Wondra Excavating has started preparing our site for the construction of the new school.
- Wondra has prepped the site for the domes, created retention ponds and grading for our driveways and parking lots.
- The work is still weather dependent, but Wondra has much of the water lines and storm water structures in place. They hope to leave the site after the water, sewer and storm water lines are in place and the gravel is in place for the drives and parking lots.
Dome constructor has begun working with the architects to complete the building shell design
- South Industries
is very experienced in this type of construction with the company’s founder being one of the patent holders on the dome construction process. - South Industries will begin dome construction in early spring
- South Industries will use a mix of their current staff and local laborers.
Next phases of the construction process
- The floor plans will be finalized in the next couple of weeks.
- The driveway access to Hwy B and the Hwy B construction are currently being designed.
- Architects and engineers will complete the development of shop drawings by the end of January
- The rest of the project will be bid out
at the end of January.
Athletic fields
- The Board’s Athletic Fields Ad Hoc Committee is working with 6AM (
a Madison marketing and design firm) to develop a fundraising plan for the athletic fields. - A website is in development which will provide information about the fundraising efforts.
- This fall, the first ever Run for the Fields was held.
- Cash donations can be sent to the district office and are being kept in a designated fund.
Commitment
As stated before, the new facility is a long term asset for the community, and your school board and administrative team are committed to making the best decisions based on the most current information. Watch for updates in the next issues of The Jay and once the dome construction begins, our website will also have a camera view of the process.
