Travis Randle updates committee on 2019 capital construction progress
Summary
Travis Randle of Campus Construction Management Group told the Ithaca Facilities and Finance Committee that the district's 2019 capital projects are progressing: a dumpster pad is complete, glazing and storefront systems are installed in the STEM addition, building access controls are nearing completion, and Enfield Elementary canopy panels remain in progress.
Travis Randle, with Campus Construction Management Group, told the Ithaca Facilities and Finance Committee at its June 16 work session that multiple 2019 capital projects are advancing, citing a completed dumpster pad, newly installed storefront and glazing systems for the STEM and auto-shop additions, and near-complete building access controls.
The update matters because the projects affect student safety, building security and classroom environments at multiple sites, including the STEM wing and Enfield Elementary. Several improvements — larger windows in STEM areas, improved vestibule connections and upgraded access-control wiring — were highlighted as steps toward opening and securing new instructional space.
Randle began the slideshow by showing the completed dumpster pad: "dumpster pad completed," he said, noting the pad includes privacy slats on two sides and bollards, and that two sides are left open to allow operation of the compaction dumpster. He added that vegetation helps screen the pad from the road and neighboring properties.
Photos of the aluminum curtain-wall and storefront system showed the doorway and glazing that connect area C to the new area E (physics addition). Randle said roof tile work remained to be finished. He also showed larger glazing panels installed in the STEM and auto-shop area, saying the glass is in and crews were finishing the framing.
Interior images included vestibule E2, which connects area C to the STEM wing addition, and corridor wall tile now in place. On mechanical systems, Randle documented building control and door-access controller junction boxes and said "the building controls and door access controls systems are actually just about complete now," describing wiring and connectivity nearing completion.
At Enfield Elementary, Randle reported crews have begun installing exterior composite wall panels on two canopies: one at the main office entrance and another at the student drop-off that surrounds the cafeteria. He said the composite wall panels for the cafeteria walls remain to be installed.
Committee members thanked Randle for facilitating visits to the new STEM facility and indicated they would follow up with a breakout session for additional detail. The presentation was informational; no formal votes or motions were recorded during the update.
The committee moved on to financial items after the presentation; Randle did not request any immediate board action.
