This was an exciting week as we completed setting the beams and bar joists for the new media center and gym! More progress was made on the CMU walls both for the addition and in the new interior changing rooms. Our mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors kept working on the behind-the-scenes aspects of the classrooms, changing rooms, and corridor; installing new piping, ductwork, and electrical conduit.
November 15, 2024 This week the south gym wall was completed. The site was prepared for setting the gym bar joists which is scheduled for next week. More window blocking was installed on the gym windows. On the interior, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors kept working on installing new systems in the classrooms and mechanical rooms. November 8, 2024: Construction project highlights from this week included completing the north gym wall for the addition and continuing concrete masonry unit installation for the north media center wall. November 1, 2024: Work focused on finishing the West gym wall for the new addition and continuing the north walls, installing the fire suppression system throughout the corridor and in the classrooms, and cutting out the floor in the custodian’s office to be able to start installing underground plumbing within the existing building. October 21, 2024: The gym walls are beginning to rise up and classroom remodels are underway one section at a time. This week the masons continued installing CMU to build the structural walls of the new gym addition. The plumbers are continuing to install underground plumbing to serve the new bathrooms for the addition. The electricians are continuing to install in wall electrical conduit within the new structural walls. On the interior of the building demolition continues, openings have been cut out for future borrowed lites, and new walls have been put up in existing classrooms. October 14, 2024: The School District is excited to begin construction projects at Hudson Middle School, North Hudson Elementary, and EP Rock Elementary Schools this fall. The community approved these capital projects in April 2023. The initial bids came in over budget. This past spring, the School District decided to rebid the projects. The spring bids provided a more favorable timeline, resulting in a savings of roughly four million dollars. North Hudson Elementary held its groundbreaking ceremony on September 10th. During the next several months, construction will focus on the two-stage gymnasium and media center addition. Work will also begin on updating the building’s utility service. Remodeling of the classrooms and other interior spaces is scheduled to start in January. Keeping students and staff safe throughout the construction process is a priority. Protective fencing has been installed outside, and temporary partition walls will close off access to classrooms while they are updated. The partitions will minimize noise, dust, and other disruptions, ensuring the learning environment has minimal impact. The project team is committed to maintaining safety and limiting interference with daily school activities as we progress with building improvements. At Hudson Middle School, the construction focus has shifted to interior improvements. The media center has been updated with new furniture and shelving, providing students and staff with a more functional and inviting learning environment. The improvements also allow for individual study and collaborative learning with flexible seating. Planning continues at EP Rock Elementary, with actual construction beginning in January. All three projects will be completed by the fall of 2025.
