[edit] Construction
Recently, Merrimack Valley has undergone a major reconstruction. This includes, but is not limited to:
- A new science wing
- Redesigned library, cafeteria, office, and nurse spaces
- Redoing the exterior fascia
MVHS Construction Update
The renovation project is progressing on schedule, and students and staff have been wonderful with the situation. The locker rooms have been in use by our fall athletes and PE classes. Early reports are that everyone appreciates the new look and space. The renovated classrooms have been well received, and the permanent windows are being installed as this is written. The science wing will definitely be ready for second semester classes, with completion planned around the 1st of the new year.
The wood chip heating plant is scheduled to be ready to fire up by the end of this month. The new boilers are tied through the high school to the middle school, and will be supplying heat to both buildings that is both economically and ecologically progressive.
Work continues on the new cafeteria, library and art classrooms. The steel for this addition went up in about a day, followed shortly by the roof and floors. Now, the walls and windows won’t be far behind. Watching this project unfold each day is very exciting, and we are thankful to everyone who supported this much needed facelift and addition of space.
Update: At the start of the second semester, the science wings were up for the most part, two labs though, are currently incomplete.
