Henry-Senachwine School District #5 - HSHS Academic Wing Addition - Update

Construction on the new Henry-Senachwine High School academic wing addition began the week of March 24th. Initial construction included electrical and structural work to the main high school foyer and south entrance of the building, which will support the new media center/library and storm shelter. As a result of the planned work, a temporary wall has been installed in the main foyer at HSHS, which will allow work in the area to continue.

Also, site work has begun to the south and east of HSHS. This site work has included the installation of a construction fence, removal of tree stumps, and the removal of the main sidewalk leading to the south entrance of HSHS. Outside site work will continue this week at HSHS. Due to the site work, there will be no access to the high school through the south high school entry doors or the east parking lot drive that exits onto College Street. Access to the main HSHS parking lot is available using Route 29.

The District will provide progress updates on the high school academic wing addition and renovation work on its website at www.hscud5.org, under tab ‘Master Facility Planning”. The Henry-Senachwine Board of Education will continue to meet monthly and welcomes public attendance at the meetings.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael Miller
Superintendent
