AKRON — Workers have started hanging drywall in Tippecanoe Valley High School’s auditorium.
The Skillman Corp. Project Manager Scott Rogers gave that information as part of his update to the Tippecanoe Valley School Board at its monthly work session on Thursday at TVHS. The Skillman Corp. is the construction management company for TVHS’ construction project.
“In the auditorium, we’re just now finishing all of the ductwork and electrical for lighting rough-ins up high, and we have everything framed out for the walls,” he added.
Rogers also said new general locker rooms were able to be used for the boys’ basketball sectional recently hosted at TVHS. Those are complete aside from finished flooring.
“Today we started taking scaffolding down (in the pool area),” he said. Workers have finished the ceilings and ductwork there.
In the new agriculture area, plans are to start putting up walls soon, said Rogers.
He said current estimates to have parts of the project finished are late July for the pool, early August for the auditorium and June or July for the agriculture area.
