Colcord ISD’s growing student body necessitated the expansion of the existing middle school building.

Ellingson Contracting acted as construction manager for the addition and renovation of the existing middle school building. Our scope included the addition and finish out of a new 1,983 square-foot pre-engineered metal building structure, enlargement and renovation of the existing bathroom groups, new metal roofing and siding on the entire existing building, and landscape and hardscape work around the new addition. The added structure created space for a new library and administrative offices, which freed up the required space for the restrooms to grow.

Safety was a top concern on this project, both for our workers as well as for the students and staff. One unique challenge we faced on this project was sawcutting the existing post-tensioned concrete slab to install new underground plumbing to the bathrooms. Through a process of careful coordination, we managed to locate the existing cables within the slab and selectively remove the concrete without any cable breakage. We phased the project to perform the interior restroom work during the summer, while ensuring limited access to the work area with construction barriers during the rest of the year to allow construction to continue while school was in session.

We are thrilled to be a part of the completion of this addition, which will enable this school to continue to grow in the years to come.
