District officials report major progress at Hyde Park, Nibley and new elementary sites

Don Adams, the district’s facility supervisor, told the Cache County School Board on Dec. 4 that major construction milestones have been reached at Hyde Park, Nibley and the new elementary school.

“We have about 98% of the windows done,” Adams said, adding that fire‑sprinkler installation was about 92% complete and rough plumbing about 95%. He said the chiller and boilers are installed at Hyde Park and that ceiling grid and interior framing are underway in classroom wings and large shared spaces.

Adams showed progress photos and described finishing work in the cafeteria, auditorium and main office. He said crews completed exterior block on both Hyde Park and Nibley and that painting and flooring will follow interior HVAC and electrical completion. For the new elementary, Adams said tilt wall panels were all set up as of Dec. 1 and that roof framing and first‑level concrete slabs are being poured.

Board members asked for details on window treatments and site terms. Adams said media‑center windows will likely have large roller shades and that he would confirm sizing by email if paperwork showed otherwise. He also described groundwater remediation around a detention pond and said crews paved virtually all parking lots and circulation areas before November storms.

Adams framed the schedule around weather windows: he said roofing and weather‑tightening will allow interior trades to accelerate, with sprinkler work likely finished before winter break. The district will continue to post progress updates and share photos with the board as the projects move into interior finishes.

The board did not take a formal vote on the projects at the meeting; Adams’s report was presented for information.
