Remodeling project starts at Wahoo

WAHOO A long awaited renovation project is underway at Wahoo High and Middle School.

Work crews from Cheever Construction began remodeling the entryway and high school office at the start of the summer break.

The day that kids got out, they were already in here bringing in equipment, said Wahoo Public Schools Superintendent Galen Boldt,

The plans for the project have been on the table for about the past two years.

Space needs and security issues helped to drive the project.

According to Boldt, the original office perimeter will remain the same but the arrangement will be completely different.

The most important of these changes, he said, is the repositioning of the secretarial staff closer to the front doors.

That was a matter of giving more security to our building, he noted. We wanted to design that for better security, traffic flow and use of space.

According to Boldt, the secretarial staff who monitor the buzzer locks on the door will now have a direct view of the entryway.

New carpet is also being put into the new office area, as well as the hall where all the lockers are located.
