High School Construction On Schedule

Construction of the new is on schedule thanks to more cooperative weather this year. The wet spring of 2011 set construction back a bit, but has not been an issue this year. 

David Puffer, director of construction projects for Westlake City Schools, said the new middle school and high school are both still on schedule.  

With school in session, the builders have made some accommodations to avoid disrupting the school environment, Puffer said.

"I’ve heard no complaints from either Westlake High School and ," Puffer said in an email. "Delivery trucks & large equipment are prohibited from entering or exiting both sites during a.m. drop off and p.m. pickup times."

He said the district and Turner Construction monitor the contractor's progress against the schedule.

The new high school, which will be 265,000 square feet (not including the Performing Arts Center), is scheduled to open at the start of the 2013-14 school year.
