Window & door project nearly done at local school

WILMINGTONDriving by the North Intermediate School these days may make a parent nervous, with windows and entries covered and under construction. The North Intermediate School window and door replacement project will be finished by the end of the month.

George Hooper, the Superintendent of Public Buildings, said that most of the window project will be complete by August 27, and theyll start installing the doors on the 29th.

Everything seems to be progressing really nicely, he said.

Theyve also replaced the Norths septic tank. In addition, they switched the heating system over from oil to gas. The boilers at the North Intermediate were original to the building.

They did roofing work, toothe replacement of 9,170 square feet of roof, approved at Town Meeting.

The North was built in 1962, and it is 54,569 square feet.

Hooper said that this is his third windows project. An example of a previous one: the replacement of the Shawsheen Schools windows. This, as the Crier reported previously, revitalized the faade of the building and greatly increased energy efficiency.

Its no different from the North.

Hooper said that the new windows are a big improvement for the buildingand you can tell when you look through them.
