AKRON — The start of walls and electrical work are monthly progress made in the new agriculture area at Tippecanoe Valley High School.

At its monthly public work session on Thursday, April 11, the Tippecanoe Valley School Board heard that information from The Skillman Corp. Project Manager Scott Rogers. The Skillman Corp. is the construction management company for TVHS’ ongoing construction project.

Board Member Aaron Zolman asked if the outdoor door size in the ag section provides enough room for a tractor to be driven in.

Rogers said it was.

“We are putting an outlet on the outside (of the building) so if (agriculture teacher Mike Jones) ever wants to do something on the outside with a trailer (during class),” said Rogers.

He said the agriculture section should be done at the end of the summer before the next school year.

Another part of the project, the auditorium, should be done “in early August,” said Rogers. There, painting has started.

“We’re actually talking now about starting the excavation sometime next week to get the rest of the lower end foundations … build up the stage walls, start getting the rest of that closed up,” he said.

In the pool area, which should be done “mid- to late July,” said Rogers, the scaffolding is down, and pool tile work should start at the earliest on Monday, April 22.

Scaffolding is down at the TVHS pool, with work there set to be done in July, according to The Skillman Corp. Project Manager Scott Rogers. The Skillman Corp. is the construction management company for TVHS’ ongoing construction project.
