Construction Progress Update – 03/18/2024

The Tisbury School Project remains on schedule for its anticipated Fall 2024 opening. Significant milestones have been achieved in the restoration of the 1929/1995 building, with all masonry work and window installations now completed. In April, the focus will shift to the exterior millwork panels surrounding the palladium windows. Inside, the casework installation on the 2nd and 3rd floors is nearly finished, with classrooms receiving their first coat of paint. Meanwhile, progress on the 1st floor continues with taping and sanding of drywall along with the completion of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) rough-ins. On the ground floor, MEP rough-ins are complete and boiler and electrical switch gear installations continue. In the construction of the New Gymnasium, significant strides are being made with the impending completion of exterior brick masonry veneer, wood siding, and glazing systems. Interior work on the 2nd and 3rd floors is already finished, with the installation of drywall systems and MEP components. Notably, the cafeteria sees progress with the installation of the Kitchen Walk-In Cooler and Hood, while MEP rough-ins are nearing completion – standing at 90% for the Cafeteria and 50% for the Music/Band area. The installation of the new building elevator continues alongside the finalization of Stair Number 3. Outside, substantial headway has been made in exterior site work, including the installation of site drainage during the February school break. Looking ahead, the electrical utility is scheduled to set the new transformer in April, a crucial step towards providing permanent power to the new school facility.
