AKRON — Roofing is nearly complete over all the parts of Tippecanoe Valley High School’s construction project.
At its monthly work session on Thursday, the Tippecanoe Valley School Board heard that information from The Skillman Corp. Project Manager Scott Rogers. The Skillman Corp. is the construction management company for the project.
Rogers said the auditorium roof still needs to be finished, with roofers to hopefully get back to work once the weather improves in a few weeks.
“We have all the connections for the fire main and the underground storage tank completed,” said Rogers.
In the new weight room addition, painting is ongoing, with Rogers adding “the majority of the light fixtures in the weight room are already set up.”
The full project includes the auditorium, renovated pool area and new pool seating, new weight room, new and renovated locker rooms and an agriculture area renovation.
Before the work session, the board held several brief meetings to reorganize for 2024.
The board will have Adam Heckaman serve as president, with David Lash as vice president and Todd Hoffman as secretary for the year. Heckaman and Hoffman will serve on those same positions on the Tippecanoe Valley School Corp. Board of Finance.
The board also approved Jessica McFarland to serve as the corporation’s treasurer for another year.
