Butler school construction to pick up over summer break
BUTLER TWP — Construction on Butler Area Senior High School is expected to pick up momentum once students are out of school for summer break.
The Butler Area School District school board heard Monday from John Pappas, project manager for Eckles Construction, regarding the addition of a new wing of classrooms and auxiliary gym to the high school building, which will allow ninth grade to move into the facility next school year.
Pappas said construction crews soon will begin receiving supplies such as steel, which will help mitigate the weather’s effect on the building process.
"If weather holds out within the next two weeks, we should be weather-tight on the main portion of the auxiliary gymnasium," he said. “With all the walls being built, once we get the steel up and all the rooms are defined, we can really start working within the space.”
