AKRON — The new agriculture classrooms at Tippecanoe Valley High School are now being used.
The Tippecanoe Valley School Board heard that news from The Skillman Corp. Project Manager Scott Rogers at its monthly work session Thursday at TVHS. The Skillman Corp. is the construction management company for TVHS’ ongoing construction project, of which the agriculture section is part.
“We still have some punch list items … but we’re working on those off hours,” said Rogers of finishing the new ag section.
As for other parts of the project, the “last bit of tile is being grouted” in the pool, said Rogers. The tile work will have to set for three weeks before water will be put in. He noted the pool will officially be ready “at the end of September.”
Regarding the auditorium, floors are being prepared for chairs and carpet, said Rogers. Seating should start going in by the end of August.
“(On) Monday, we will start putting in the stage floor,” he said.
Work is ongoing in the last part of the project, a multipurpose area, said Rogers. He added exterior work on the building should be done in October, with all of the construction project to be complete then.
