Board hears construction progress: West Green nearing completion; board office and greenhouse advancing

District staff gave a construction update during the Nov. 20 Coffee County Board of Education work session, showing photos and describing progress at West Green Elementary, the new board office and an agricultural greenhouse.

"It's really looking like a school," one speaker said while walking through photos of West Green, noting that cabinets, flooring and classroom fixtures were visible in recent images. Staff reported parking-base work was complete in many areas and that site paving and punchlist items were still in progress. A tentative 100% fire marshal inspection for West Green was mentioned for Dec. 10.

The new board office and enrollment center are under active interior work: staff described sheetrock installation, conduit and overhead work, and a larger boardroom space with partitioning that will allow the room to be divided when needed. Photos also showed the greenhouse project had progressed from footers to framing within the previous week.

Staff cautioned board members to take care if touring active construction sites. No formal board action was required on the update; the items were presented for information and monitoring of timelines and completion.
