The image that you see to the left is a picture of the interior of the Fairbank Elementary building. As you can see, workers continue to frame classrooms with steel studs. This work is about 50% complete as of this past Thursday, February 11, 2010. This picture was taken from the corridor. To the right is a classroom doorway; the split panels that you see in the middle of the frame will be covered with glass. The doorway to a neighboring classroom is immediately to the left of the doorway that you see. As you look into the classroom, you can see the progress on the walls, as well as the windows that have been installed. Many of the windows in the Fairbank building have been installed, and the roof is about 95% complete. All those changes make it much easier to control the climate inside the building for workers as they continue to make progress. I was in the Fairbank building last Thursday toward mid-day and it was as busy as I've seen it at that site. People were working to prepare floors to be poured (about 75% of that work is finished), framing classrooms, and masons were continuing work on interior block walls. Electricians are also working to install electrical boxes and run conduit as well. On the outside of the building, progress is being made on the exterior brick. Much of the east side of the building has been covered in brick, and the bricklayers have now worked their way around the to the west side of the building. Even in a matter of a few days, it is truly amazing to see all of the progress that is being made on the building. Remember, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to call me at school (319-638-6711), at home (319-279-3428), or on my cell (563-880-3920).
