Construction starts this week.
The general contractor is Larry Ruggles of Ruggco Inc.
Construction Schedule
- Construction will begin with waterproofing the rear foundation wall and with construction of a shelter for the outside heat pumps.
- The second step will be renovation of the building interior along with exterior repairs and painting. This work will proceed throughout the autumn and winter.
- Finally, construction of the new accessible entry, including an extended roof covering, will begin in the spring.
Gym Improvements
The Division of Fire Safety required upgrades to fire exits from the gym and a limit of fewer than 99 people in the gym at one time. An alternative to the occupancy limit is the installation of a sprinkler system in the entire building. However, the cost of a sprinkler system would be prohibitive, so the select board agreed to the limit on occupancy.
