Chapman / Newell Instructional Building
The exterior sheathing and water barrier were placed around the building. Installation of the prefabricated façade materials known as Top Cast and glass fiber reinforced concrete is underway. Meanwhile, fabrication for both components is ongoing. Windows were installed and tested. A second round of water leakage tests will be performed on some of the windows to confirm watertightness.
Drywall and ceiling rebar placement is progressing on the second floor. Tiling continues in the restrooms. Work on the fire sprinkler has been completed. To date, crews have finished 72 percent of construction for this project and is expected to conclude in March 2025.
