Contractor: new Bonham school moving toward finishes; furniture delivery targeted for Dec. 1
Summary
Gallagher and WRA updated the board on construction milestones — roofing and many interior systems are complete, elevator installation begins this week, and furniture is expected to be delivered Dec. 1 as the project moves toward turnover.
Representatives from Gallagher and WRA briefed the board on construction progress at the new school. "Classroom administration and ceramic tile installations are now complete," Gallagher's Kirk Ramer told the board, and he outlined completed work including roofing, science lab casework, ceiling grids, and pending items such as elevator installation and kitchen equipment deliveries.
Ramer described site work to stabilize courtyard soils and noted curtain wall and steel erection steps that will continue in the coming weeks. WRA's Shawan Ding and Gallagher staff said they anticipate furniture delivery on Dec. 1 and that the district will sequence demolition of the old building after move‑in; board members asked scheduling and backup‑plan questions about occupancy timing for the next school year.
Why it matters: The schedule, equipment deliveries and finish work affect when the district can move students and begin demolition and site conversion. The board heard specific scheduling items that staff and contractors will coordinate before next steps of demolition and final commissioning.
