Major Elementary School Project in Juneau to Conclude This Year
JUNEAU, Alaska — The overhaul of Auke Bay Elementary School is set to be complete by Oct. 1 of this year. The school — long overdue for major renovations — has been under construction since June 2012.
Although the initial target completion date was the first day of school for the 2013-2014 academic year —Aug. 20 — the project team feels confident that the extended schedule won’t interrupt the beginning of classes. Problems installing the new elevator system and quality issues with the soil caused the delay in the schedule.
