Facilities staff updated the Kennett Consolidated School District board on Nov. 11 about multiple construction and maintenance projects across the district.

“ New Garden Elementary School is progressing on time and on budget,” Facilities staff said, reporting that steel framing and concrete walls are approximately 75% complete, roof decking is under way and webcams will be installed to allow the public to follow progress. The speaker noted CHA and Breslin Architects conducted a site tour for board members and described the public and two-story educational wings.

At Mary D. Lang, roofing punch-list items and auxiliary gym window installations remain; the district expects roofing work to be completed by month’s end and then to secure a 30-year warranty from the roofing contractor. Three large rooftop HVAC units for Mary D. Lang are in production with a scheduled delivery for Dec. 23; installation will require a large crane and may shift to spring break if production is delayed.

Greenwood Elementary has a completed temporary playground and a new septic system approved by the Department of Environmental Protection; district staff announced a Greenwood groundbreaking ceremony set for Friday at 10 a.m. Administrators said site contractors have brought in substantial fill and continue grading work.

Board members thanked facilities staff and noted a webcam will be shared once installed.
