UPDATES

June 2025

Welcome to the June Construction Update for Ryan Elementary School! With school officially over for the year and students and staff off for a well-earned summer break, construction at Ryan is well underway. While only select areas will be impacted by construction work inside the school, there is a lot of activity taking place on the exterior of the school. As such, the school building, along with the vast majority of the surrounding campus, are currently off limits to anyone besides construction personnel. This will be the case for the duration of the summer. Below is an overview of the construction activities that will be taking place throughout the Ryan campus during the month of June:

Demo and begin construction at Pre-K and Intermediate playgrounds. This includes new surfacing and some new equipment.
Complete demo of Primary playground with reconstruction beginning in early July
Demo and replace exterior soffits
Demo carpeting in selected classrooms and hallway
Demo and replacement of drywall in kindergarten bathrooms
Replace ceiling tile and lighting in gymnasium
Replace restroom partitions
Install stage lift
Complete sanding and refinishing of columns in the cafeteria
Complete demo and repaving of the south parking lot

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS

Community Engagement

To ensure the school community is engaged in the project, the project manager (PM) will work directly with the school principal to discuss the identified renovations, meet with the architect, and coordinate the construction schedule. The principal will decide which school staff or parents might need to be involved with the design process depending on the scope of work. The project manager will share information with the entire school staff at key milestones through the design process.
