Construction of Kindergarten Building Begins at Fairview Elementary
Construction begins this week on a new kindergarten building at Fairview Elementary School. Parents are warned to watch out for construction traffic and to expect traffic snarls during pickup and dropoff times.
The new building will be behind the current teacher parking lot (shown here), next to A Pod. That parking lot will be roped off for construction supplies, trucks and other equipment, but a smaller gravel lot has been added. Construction should affect the bus parking lot, as well; new bus pickup and dropoff procedures are coming.
Although building plans were completed several years ago, construction has been deferred until now so that various improvements to neighboring Smoky Mountain High School could be made, such as the new bus route through Jones Street.
Local contractor Philips and Jordan, Inc. has scheduled the building for completion in December of next year.
The new building will include a common playroom and learning center, and a washer and dryer room.
More details are available from Betty Brown at the Board of Education at 586-2311 and from Fairview Elementary School principal Dennis Proffitt at 586-2819.
