Hohman Middle School addition moving ahead; cafeteria finished, new library space planned
Summary
In a brief January update, a Hohman Middle School student interviewed Nexus project superintendent Brad Hudson about recent work: the cafeteria and kitchen have been turned over after inspections, a steel beam milestone was reached, and crews are installing a new addition that will include a library media center, conference rooms and offices.
Eden, a student at Hohman Middle School, interviewed Brad Hudson, project superintendent with Nexus, in a January construction update about progress on the school's ongoing addition and recent work at the site.
Hudson said crews completed work on the cafeteria and kitchen over winter break and completed the required inspections that allowed the district to take possession of those spaces. “It was a huge success,” Hudson said of the cafeteria turnover. He described the next major focus as finishing the new addition, which will house a new library media center, a learning-design (LDI) area, conference rooms and offices.
Hudson outlined planned features for the new library media center, saying it will include new bookshelves, ceiling “clouds” with integrated lighting and extensive exterior windows facing the courtyard and front of the building. He said crews recently marked a construction milestone when workers and district representatives signed a steel beam that was scheduled to be set in place the following Monday. “It was a huge milestone,” Hudson said of setting the beam.
The update did not include a construction schedule with specific completion dates or a budget breakdown. Hudson described activity as continuing “real hard on the new addition,” and noted inspections were completed on the cafeteria and kitchen; he did not specify which agencies performed those inspections. The update was an on-camera progress report and did not record any formal actions, votes, or changes to project scope.
Eden closed the segment noting viewers can expect another monthly update. The segment did not provide additional details about contractors beyond Nexus, financing sources, or a formal timetable for the new addition's opening.
