Greetings Residents of Westfield

October 2023 - Newsletter 5

We are thrilled to bring you the latest updates on the construction activities happening within our community.

Keeping the community informed about the status of a new school construction project brings numerous benefits. It fosters transparency and trust between the school district and community members, ensuring that everyone is on the same page regarding the project's goals and progress. This transparency allows for open communication, enhances collaboration, reduces misunderstandings, and strengthens the sense of unity within the community.

With the arrival of October and Fall festivities, our progress on the new elementary school remains strong. The project is staying firmly on track. For those of you in the vicinity of the site this month, here's a glimpse of the key developments that are ongoing:

• Exterior Walls, Light Gauge Metal Framing, and DensGlass Installation:

The construction team has been diligently working on the exterior walls of the building. Light-gauge metal framing has also been put in place to provide structural support. Furthermore, the installation of DensGlass, a robust and durable exterior sheathing material, is well underway. These elements are essential for the overall integrity of the building.

• Roofing:

Roofing is a critical part of any building, and we are pleased to report that the roofing phase is in progress. The installation of a high-quality roofing system is crucial to ensure that the building remains safe and protected from the elements.

• Masonry Installation of Stair Towers C, D, & E:

Stair towers are an essential component of the building's design, providing safe and efficient access. The masonry team has been hard at work, ensuring that Stair Towers C, D, and E are being built to the highest standards.

• Interior Stormwater Piping:

Efficient stormwater management is vital for the community's well-being. Interior stormwater piping is being installed to ensure that water is effectively channeled and managed within the building.

• Interior HVAC Ductwork:

Comfort and air quality are top priorities for any building. The installation of HVAC ductwork is ongoing to guarantee that the indoor environment is both comfortable and healthy for occupants.

• Spray-On Fireproofing:

Safety is of utmost importance to us. The application of spray-on fireproofing materials is a critical step to enhance the building's fire safety and protect all community members.

• Installing New Domestic Water & Fire Protection Service:

Reliable water and fire protection services are essential for our community. We are in the process of installing new domestic water and fire protection systems to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents.
