The Wright City R-II School Board received updates pertaining to the ongoing construction of the new high school that is projected to open in the second semester of the 2024-25 school year.
On Aug. 22, Bobby Christopher from Wright Construction informed the board that weather has been cooperating and adding to their progression. He noted a lot of the work right now is finishing touches done in four areas throughout the school.
Ongoing activities are flooring, painting doors, tying the fire alarm systems, working on the exterior and vegetation and detention basin.
Construction is working their way from the front of the school to the back, but also north to south. Christopher noted this is why the north side of the building looks drastically different from the south side.
The pictures presented to the board were also taken in July, as the drone was down at the time of the meeting.
He added that vegetation is a big priority for them, so they do not lose the window to get that done.
“We’re going after all the areas we can now, looking to get plantings done basically between now and the end of October, but closer to the front end of September, middle of September,” Christopher said during the Aug. 22 meeting.
He went on to say that pavement to the baseball field is completed as well as the dugouts and they will be looking to put turf down.
“So the plan right now is to turn areas A through E over by Oct. 10, area F is about a month behind that and area G about a month and a half behind that,” Christopher said.
