As we approach Friday and the end of another school week, we wanted to share some progress pictures of the new Trojan pool and gymnasium project. During construction this week, they filled the pool tank with dirt. This part of the process both protects the tank and allows for safer processes over the tank in terms of scaffolding for upcoming metal and roofing work.
Want to check-in on the construction progress? We now have a live feed on our website to view the construction project. Visit plainwellschools.org and scroll to “BOND” to view the live feed video.
