Exterior walls continue to take shape in Fairbank

As you can see, the exterior walls in the northwest corner of the lot continue to take shape. Many people have asked why the building pad is so high. In simplest terms, its best for water to run away from the building rather than toward it, so a school on higher ground makes it easier to grade the surrounding area to slope away from the building. When the building is finished, it will sit just a bit higher than the existing school house. We've asked the contractor, engineer, and architect to review the elevation again; they've done that, and still believe that the building pad is at an appropriate elevation and will look "right" when the grading and building is finished. Stay tuned for more updates on the progress in Fairbank.
