Expanding a school
An Edge Architecture / Edge Building and Construction Design-Build Project
APRIL 2024
With the roof and siding completed, interior work started on Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing.
MARCH 2024
By the end March the new roof was up, siding started, windows were installed, and the interior spaces framed out.
Framing work continues into early March.
FEBRUARY 2024
With the foundation complete, foundation waterproofing, structural steel and wood floor framing started for the new addition.
January 2024
The continuation of our mild winter has allowed us to keep making progress. During the month of January and into early February, the footings were placed and we were able to pour concrete for the foundation.
Ground Breaking - January 2, 2024
Ground broke in early January with the team from Webster Montessori, Edge Architecture, and Edge Building and Construction. While it was bitter cold for the ground breaking we were grateful for the mild start to winter. Prep for the site began in early December. We look forward to sharing the construction progress. Renderings from Edge Architecture are included below.
