Pictured are construction progress photos taken in late November 2024 of the new three-story Addition Building. The steel structure is complete (see previous post), and exterior framing is ongoing, but making tremendous progress. Interior electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-in is also on-going.
Sedalco & Post L Group, our general contractor for Stripling Middle School, are progressing through Phase 1 & 2 of construction that began in Q2 of 2024. So far, the Southwest area of the existing building is complete! (see previous project update post on 09/03/2024 for details).
On Friday September 20, 2024, Fort Worth Independent School District hosted a “Topping Out” Ceremony to celebrate the structure completion of the new addition building at W.C. Stripling Middle School. The District, community, Sedalco & Post L Group, Hahnfield Hoffer Stanford, alongside Procedeo Group were in attendance. The Stripling MS band and cheer squad also made an appearance.
The last steel beam was intentionally painted white for the community and partners to sign and commemorate this significant milestone as we continue to make construction progress at Stripling Middle School!
Sedalco & Post L Group have made headway on the existing W.C. Stripling Middle School campus. Renovation work is nearly complete and consists of, but not limited to, a newly renovated faculty lounge, SPED rise classroom, renovated hallways and a new outdoor basketball court. A new fire pump & sprinkler system is also being installed.
Tremendous construction progress has been made so far at W.C. Stripling Middle School. Concrete walls at the new storm shelter will be poured during the second week of September 2024. The structure steel for the Addition building is scheduled to be finished mid-September 2024 as well.
The new addition building for W.C. Stripling Middle School has gone vertical! During the month of August 2024, our contractors, Sedalco & Post L, have began the installation of the new building’s structural steel foundation, alongside formation of the concrete walls where the storm shelter will be located. Construction for the new addition building is scheduled through Summer of 2025.
Sedalco & Post L continue to make progress on the steel beams, decking & interior wall framing for Stripling Middle School’s new Addition Building. The foundation wall for the Addition is nearly complete. The team has also began the stone restoration process for the existing building’s exterior.
Summer renovation for Stripling Middle School is underway. This month, Sedalco & Post L have completed asbestos and started the demolition process. The crew is now working on forming the concrete for the foundation walls. The concrete contractor is also working on the parking lot expansions located on the North and West sides of the campus. Parking expansions should be ready for use this Fall of 2024.
As of April 2, 2024, W.C. Stripling Middle School is officially under construction! The team is nearly finished with pier drilling, and has started the foundation wall framing, underground electrical and drainage work. The water line associated with the Addition building will also need to be relocated and replaced.
The development site for Stripling MS requires a temporary electrical shut down for about a month, scheduled to begin near the end of May.
