People who seem to know about such things told us recently at MOSS that there is special celebration when the roof goes onto a new building. Apparently, the owner(s) of the building and the construction team mark this as a turning point on the way to the building’s completion.
At MOSS, we are now well past the ‘roof going on’ stage of our new Resource Centre. The pace has been steady, with apparently no significant delays and we are seeing daily progress. Recently, someone used the term ‘lock-up’ as the next major milestone that we can look forward to.
The building sits up on the hill above our Administration block and is in full view of students and staff as they move around the front area of the school. We have seen trucks and big cranes coming and going, unloading all sorts of things onto the site. This last week, we have been watching men high up on scaffolding, nail-gunning panels onto the underside of the roof.
School staff and parents have also been busy making decisions about what will go INTO our new building…we have chosen floor types and paint colours, looked at options for shelving, furniture, book boxes, things like display wires across the ceiling and even floor cushions.
Some time soon, we are expecting to be invited on site for a special visit inside.
Keep watching this space
