Summary
Littlestown Area SD facilities staff reported that temporary partitions separating construction from occupied spaces were installed for Phase 2 and that demolition of Building D’s first and second floors has begun.
Littlestown Area SD facilities staff reported that temporary partitions separating active construction from occupied areas have been installed for Phase 2 and that demolition of Building D’s first and second floors has begun, including removal of ceilings, plumbing, electrical and HVAC components.
The update, delivered during the district meeting, said the partitions were approved by the code inspector. Staff also described completed and in-progress work in other areas: temporary curtains installed in the nurse’s suite, a new family and consumer science classroom, a personal business lab adjacent to the athletic stairway, a chemistry lab with new sinks and closets, and ongoing demolition in the older Building E.
The presenter reported the original project cost as $57,000,003.37 and said net change by change orders was $448,080, which the presenter characterized as “just under 1%.” A figure the presenter gave for payouts approved to date in the transcript appears garbled and was not clearly specified by the speaker.
Staff said excavation for portions of Phase 2 was completed and that parts of the building currently lack air conditioning while utilities are removed and replaced. Photos shown to the board included the new classrooms and what the presenter described as the ‘tunnel’-like condition of heavily demolished corridors where lockers and wall tiles have been removed in preparation for new walls.
Regarding schedule, the presenter said contractors still had work to finish in the pictured section and expected additional progress in the coming days; the presenter said a final photo would likely be shared after that work was complete. No outstanding construction issues were reported at the time of the update.
No formal motions or votes were recorded on the renovation in the meeting transcript provided. The district did not provide a detailed, unambiguous payout figure in the recorded remarks; the presenter’s numeric statement is included above verbatim where possible.
