Coast Salish Construction Update​ (January 2023)

Letter from Chandos Construction (January 2023)

Dear Members of the Coast Salish Community:
As I mentioned last week, I was able to visit our new school and saw that the inside of the building is progressing well.  Most of the areas that will be utilized for partial occupancy have flooring installed, heating units in, walls being painted and drop ceilings being completed. Exterior work, such as roofing and siding are also coming along well. Some supply chain and trade issues are still being encountered by the Contractor. Our district personnel are in regular meetings with the Contractor about the status of these items and the need to complete the work as quickly as possible. Latest scheduling information from the Contractor now anticipates us having partial occupancy early in 2023. (November 2022)
