McLean and Greentree Elementary renovations remain on schedule and budget

Construction projects at McLean and Greentree Elementary schools are progressing smoothly, with both on schedule and within budget, according to the latest updates from the School Board of Wisconsin.

At McLean Elementary, major demolition work is nearly complete, with the exception of window removal, which will be handled closer to the installation timeline. The removal of an unnecessary elevator has allowed for better use of space, and plumbing contractors are currently working on the rough-ins for new bathrooms. Concrete pouring is expected to begin by the end of this week, followed by flooring preparations throughout the building.

Excitingly, the restoration of original architectural features is underway, including the reopening of a round window that showcases the building's historical design. The construction team is also focused on creating a secure entryway for students and staff, enhancing safety measures at the school.

Meanwhile, at Greentree Elementary, demolition is complete except for windows and doors. The plumbing system is ahead of schedule, with inspections passed and concrete poured. The project includes significant renovations to bathrooms for ADA compliance and updates to the office areas. Additionally, electrical work is progressing, with plans for a generator to ensure life safety systems are operational.

Overall, the board expressed satisfaction with the progress, emphasizing that being on time and on budget is a positive sign for the community. The construction efforts are not only modernizing the facilities but also preserving the historical aspects of the schools, ensuring they remain functional and safe for future generations.
