Colorado Department of Education Capitol Construction Program Staff Tour

On Wednesday, August 14th Colorado Department of Education Capitol Construction Program staff were in Cañon to inspect progress being made on our CañonCity Middle School and Washington Elementary projects.

While touring sites we discussed the many challenges we've had getting the CCMS project out of the ground due to fuel tanks and asbestos-lined pipe discoveries.

However, it was exciting to see cleanup taking place from our recent gymnasium-auditorium demolition, and that our geothermal system has been connected to our new mechanical system and is pumping air conditioning into classrooms just in time for the arrival of students.

On the Washington site, great progress is being made excavating and forming the building. we are even starting to see plumbing and electrical rough-ins. We also noticed old playground equipment being relocated to the north side of the campus for use once school starts.
