Work Continues On New Early Learning Center

Construction crews are making major headway on the Washington School Districts new Early Learning Center.

Located on the Washington West Elementary campus off West Highway 100, the 25,000-square-foot center will open in August.

The center will combine three programs under one roof early childhood special education, Parents as Teachers and all of the in-town preschools.

Assistant Superintendent Dr. Brendan Mahon said exterior brickwork should be completed by early next week, and metal siding has already been installed.

Two sides of the building are brick, with metal siding on the other sides.

We are totally under roof and 90 percent complete on the exterior all good news, Mahon told The Missourian Thursday.

We had hoped to get asphalt parking lots completed in November, but weather did not permit, he said. This will not impact the overall schedule. We simply moved it to the spring.

Mahon said crews are hard at work on the interior of the building.

Interior framing is complete, and the drywall in the classroom areas has been taped and sanded and will be finished next week, he reported.

Crews are just now beginning to lay the tile in the classroom restrooms, he noted.
