“We gave the construction people August, mid-August, for completion, but I know that that won’t happen, but that’s our goal,” says Arthur. “The high school is a very populated building and very busy, and we’re hoping that they can at least get the asbestos removed and get the front done and then there will be other stages in the construction as we go forward.”
The entryway will have floor-to-ceiling tinted glass, more doors for accessibility to the building, a buzzer entry through the office, and a glass foyer. Arthur says this is a way to address security at GHS, and that the previous design had “issues that were a little bit scary in this day and age”.
The entire remodel project isn’t expected to be completed until next summer, but Arthur says the front entry will be done by the school year, however some of the classrooms won’t have the flooring done.
