Construction Progress Update – 01/15/2024
The construction of the new Tisbury School is progressing smoothly while adhering to both the established schedule and budget. Significant enhancements to the exterior facade of the 1929/95 building have been achieved, marked by the successful completion of masonry restoration and the installation of new windows. The ongoing exterior sheathing work is anticipated to conclude by the end of this month, ensuring the entire building envelope is weather-tight by the end of January. Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) rough-ins have been finalized and are complemented by the progress on the interior wall systems, which includes drywall and taping work on the 3rd and 2nd floors. Notably, the new electrical switch gear for the main electrical service has been delivered and is positioned for the upcoming wiring phase. The gymnasium now boasts a completed masonry veneer on its North, East, and West facades — with the Southern facade set to be finished by the end of the month. Progress in this area includes the placement of slabs-on-grade and the initiation of the installation of the monumental stair three. The new elevator’s arrival is anticipated for mid-January and installation is slated to begin on February 1st. Meanwhile, the MEP rough-in for this wing is at a 50% completion milestone. Simultaneously, the interior wall framing for the new kitchen/cafeteria is 90% complete — delineating the evolving spaces within the entire building as it steadily advances towards completion.
