Southwest Construction Moving Forward for March 9


Southwest addition and renovation project is scheduled to start March 9.

The first signs with the installation of a construction trailer in front of the west side of the front of the west building.  Soon after a fence stretching from the east side of door 3 to the west edge of the East building.  This will block Door 1 as an entrance.  Door 2 will also be closed.  A similar construction fence will soon be established across the back of the building blocking door 15.  Door 14A will also be closed.

METRO buses at dismissal will continue to load students near the corner of Chowen and 47th and north on Chowen.  Special Education buses will deliver and load students at the corner of Abbott and 47th, entering the building at door 19.

Families are requested to drop off and pick up students on 46th.  Students would be entering and exiting school from door 12, 7, 17 and 19.  Traffic on 47th in the mornings and at drop-off after school is congested.

Inside the school the hallway in the East building between the Media Center and room E102 will be closed.  The hallway between the auditorium and rooms 113 and 114 will be closed.  Door 5 and that entrance way will be closed.  The hallway between the cafeteria and room 27 will be closed.

Handicapped parking will be around door 6.  Delivers will be made through door 6 or 18.  Door 7 will remain as the athletic entrance.  In the West building during regular school hours the only door open is Door 3.

By the middle of March a walkway will be established between the East and the West building.  It will not be accessible from the outside.  It will extend from door 13 to door 16.  Both door 13 and 16 will be closed to external entrance.  The only way to enter the walkway is from inside the school.

Other adjustments will be necessary as the construction project continues. Announcement are made to students during school and information is posted in this blog, on the Southwest website and in weekly bulletin.

Southwest, the legend continues and renews in fall of 2016.
