Classroom Addition Takes Shape as Major Foundation Work Moves Forward

Beekmantown Central School District’s Capital Improvement Project continues to make visible progress, with important work advancing at both the main campus classroom addition and Cumberland Head Elementary School.

During the latest reporting period, crews completed the East and West foundation walls for the new classroom addition. Interior foundation backfilling has also been completed, and the concrete slab has been prepared, poured, and polished. This marks an exciting step forward as the project begins to move from below-ground foundation work toward a more recognizable building structure.

Site work is also continuing around the new addition. Crews are backfilling and compacting the area around the foundation and have started grading work for the future playground area. This work helps prepare the site for the next phases of construction and supports the long-term layout of the improved campus space.

At Cumberland Head Elementary School, progress continues on kitchen-related improvements. Work has included preparation for the new rooftop kitchen unit, installation of a roof curb, gas-line and vent-line work, and adjustments to kitchen lighting to support the mechanical work taking place.

Project Highlights

Major progress this month includes:

• ✅ East and West foundation walls completed for the new classroom addition.
• ✅ Interior foundation backfilling completed.
• ✅ Concrete slab preparation completed.
• ✅ Concrete slab poured and polished.
• ✅ Backfilling and compaction continuing around the new addition.
• ✅ Playground-area grading started.
• ✅ Cumberland Head Elementary kitchen mechanical, plumbing, gas-line, vent-line, and electrical coordination moving forward.
• ✅ Steel erection has started, helping the new addition begin to take shape above ground.

What’s Next?

In the coming weeks, work is expected to continue in several key areas:

• Continued steel work for the new classroom addition.
• Continued backfilling and compaction around the addition foundation.
• Continued grading and site preparation near the playground area.
• Ongoing mechanical, plumbing, gas-line, vent-line, and electrical work connected to the Cumberland Head Elementary kitchen upgrades.

Building for the Future

These improvements are part of Beekmantown Central School District’s ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving learning spaces for students, staff, and the community. As foundation work is completed and steel begins to rise, the classroom addition is becoming easier to see and understand as an investment in the future of our schools.

The District will continue to share updates as work progresses.

May 2026 Construction Progress

Exciting progress continues on Beekmantown Central School District's Capital Improvement Project as work advances on the new classroom addition. Over the past month, construction crews have reached several significant milestones that are laying the foundation for the next phase of work.

Project Highlights

• ✅ North and South foundation walls completed
• ✅ Interior support piers under construction
• ✅ Foundation excavation continues
• ✅ Underground storm drainage system installation underway
• ✅ East foundation wall preparations in progress

The completion of the North and South foundation walls marks an important milestone, clearly defining the footprint of the future classroom addition. At the same time, crews continue to make steady progress installing underground infrastructure, constructing interior support piers, and preparing additional foundation walls as the project remains on schedule.

Current Progress

Foundation construction continues to move forward at a steady pace. Recent work has focused on completing major concrete foundation elements, installing critical underground storm drainage infrastructure, constructing interior structural supports, and preparing additional foundation wall sections. Each of these phases is essential to ensuring the long-term strength, safety, and durability of the new classroom addition.

As these foundational components are completed, the project is transitioning toward the next stages of structural construction, bringing the new learning spaces one step closer to reality.

What's Next?

Over the coming weeks, construction teams will continue:

• Completing remaining foundation work
• Installing additional structural supports
• Expanding the site's underground drainage infrastructure
• Preparing for the next phase of vertical construction

As work progresses throughout the summer, the community will begin to see the new classroom addition rise above ground, making the vision approved by district voters increasingly visible.
