FWCS approves construction projects

A series of spring and summer construction projects totaling more than $8.5 million were approved Monday by Fort Wayne Community Schools board members.

The projects include roofing replacements at eight schools Northrop High School, Miami, Northwood and Shawnee middle schools, and Croninger, Scott, Shambaugh and Whitney Young elementary schools.

The roofing projects will be completed by Fort Wayne Roofing and Sheet Metal.

The district will also relocate a welding lab at Anthis Career Center to give students more space to complete projects by moving the existing lab in the basement of the building into an open service bay in the auto trades building. The project will be completed by Project Design & Piping Inc.

Window replacement and masonry restoration projects will be completed at Northwood and Towles Elementary School. The work at Northwood will be completed by Fetters Construction Inc. and work at Towles will be completed by Shawnee Construction.

The board also approved construction contracts at Croninger Elementary School to make architectural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical renovations. The projects will be completed by Hamilton Hunter Builders Inc. and Automated Logic.

Asbestos abatement services will also be completed at Croninger and Harris Elementary as part of the 2014-15 projects. The projects will be paid for through the districts School Building Basic Renewal/Restoration and Safety Project budget which was included in the 2012 bond approved by voters in a referendum.
