Renovation of parts
of the building is finished and they are in use. This
first-floor corridor includes new lighting to brighten the
school, which has relatively few windows -- a 1970s
feature that has been modified but could not be completely
changed.
The music department
has completely redesigned quarters with separate rehearsal
rooms for band and choral. From the start, Concord has had
a strong program which now is housed with
professional-level ambiance.
The building's
heating, ventilation and air-conditioning is being
converted from a 'two-pipe' system to a 'four-pipe' one to
permit separate operation and control. In the process,
interior air quality is being improved. Like a large part
of all building renovation, these things will not
generally be visible when the work is finished.
The modular units
will b removed and the front parking lot restored when
renovations are completed. Most classes have been held in
the modules this year, but parts of the building have been
accessible and used.
