County construction staff provided a monthly update on Lancaster County’s new high school during the Nov. 20 Board of Supervisors meeting.

The presentation said the project averages about 150 workers on site daily. The generator pad location was described and will be screened; the main electrical switchgear and distribution equipment are in place and staff said they are close to having Dominion Energy energize the building. Gym bleachers are onsite and awaiting floor completion; the auditorium framing is ready for drywall.

Paving that staff had hoped to complete by this point is likely to be delayed into December as weather and plant closures approach. Elevator installation is underway and other trade work, including electrical distribution, continues.

County staff did not provide a final completion date but said crews are pushing to finish exterior paving before colder weather restricts asphalt work.
