General Program Update

The focus in May has shifted toward major interior milestones, with critical components of the high school gymnasium and the new middle school addition nearing readiness for finish work. This progress marks a pivotal phase in the program, bringing the vision of upgraded educational environments closer to reality.

The middle school is largely enclosed, and contractors have completed rough-ins for plumbing, fire protection, and HVAC across key areas. Drywall installation has begun on both floors, while exterior masonry, including brick veneer work, continues. Meanwhile, key inspections and mockups—such as window waterproof testing—were completed to ensure construction quality meets long-term performance expectations. The elevator installation, a critical component for accessibility compliance, is scheduled for mid-May.

At the high school gymnasium, gym flooring work has begun, with finishing and mural artwork scheduled throughout mid-May, followed by the arrival of bleachers. Concurrently, HVAC, electrical, and lighting installations have picked up momentum. The demolition of the old gym floor and abatement has been completed, clearing the way for interior improvements. Ceiling tiles and drywall in various corridors and vestibules are underway, supported by enhanced manpower from electrical and finishing crews.
Overall, the program remains on track, with no major delays reported. Coordination between the district, contractors, and design teams continues to be a strength of the project. While some late stage design and pricing tasks—such as fencing, monument signage, and mechanical revisions—are ongoing, they are not impacting the critical path. Each of these collaborative efforts supports the program’s ultimate goal: providing students, staff, and the Amity community with safe, modern, and adaptable learning environments.

Current Activities

Middle School:
• Drywall installation is underway on both floors.
• HVAC, plumbing, and fire suppression rough-ins are complete.
• Tile work has begun in bathrooms and locker rooms.
• Ceiling tile and drywall work continues in stairwells and common areas.
• Elevator installation is scheduled for mid-May.
• Pipe railing mockups are being fabricated and reviewed.
• Painting and flooring prep have started in enclosed areas.

High School Gymnasium:
• Bleacher delivery is scheduled for May 19, after floor finishes cure.
• Electrical crews have increased on-site, focusing on lighting, scoreboards, and controls.
• HVAC and mechanical systems are being installed in gym and support spaces.
• Old gym floor demolition and abatement are complete.

Sitework:
• Sidewalks and courtyard concrete pours continue Tuesday–Thursday each week.
• Landscape irrigation sleeves are being installed and coordinated with site grading.
• Curb installation and planter prep are underway.
• Auxiliary gym floor removal is complete; new wood flooring and striping planned next.

Activities Scheduled for Next Period

As the project moves into June, the focus will be on completing interior finishes and preparing both the middle school and high school gymnasium for final systems installation.
At the middle school, crews will continue drywall and ceiling work, followed by interior painting and flooring installation. The elevator is expected to be completed and inspected
by mid-month, marking a key accessibility milestone.

In the high school gym, mural artwork and gym floor sealing will wrap up, making way for bleacher installation starting May 19. Once bleachers are in place, teams will begin installing wall padding, lighting, and gym equipment systems. Meanwhile, system integration continues, with work on security, intercom, and lockdown systems ensuring both schools are connected and secure.

On the exterior, sitework will advance with the completion of sidewalks and curbs, along with preparation for landscaping and planter installations. Crews are also finalizing
irrigation systems and beginning grading around the buildings. Other efforts include installing the district’s monument sign and reviewing fencing layouts.

The project team remains focused on staying ahead of summer timelines, especially for student access areas, and is working closely to finalize pricing and decisions on final design elements such as benches, slats, and gym graphics.

Highlights, Challenges, Solutions

This month, tight workspaces caused some delays as multiple crews worked in the same areas. The team fixed this by adjusting the schedule and improving communication.
Some material delays, like with railings and light fixtures, were handled by resequencing tasks. Extra asbestos in the gym floor required full abatement, but crews quickly adjusted to stay on track. Overall, challenges were solved quickly, and the project remains on schedule.
