Montessori Childrens House and School Renovation Update

Montessori Childrens House and School is an AMI certified school for children 3-6 years old. Founded in 1970, we are one of the oldest Montessori schools in the Dallas area. The 38 year old original building is currently undergoing a major facelift. We are expanding and renovating the entire building for the first time in the school's history. This blog serves as an update for construction progress. For more information about the school go to mchs-dallas.org.

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY (well almost)

The work continues with the installation of the plenums which carry air into and out of the new Carrier units. High performance and very efficient units will keep MCHS comfortable in our North Texas weather extremes.

One of the first projects completed during the remodeling was to repair and lift the foundation below Miss Jeanne's classroom. It had dropped considerably over the last (almost) 37 years. While the foundation was raised, it was not possible to do the same with the small patio outside the classroom door. It had fallen away from the building and settled a great deal. Now with the classroom level, the patio is a big step down from the class. In order to meet accessibility standards, it must be removed and properly poured. The demolition began...

and was completed the same day. These are the same great concrete crews that poured the foundation for the new BAC wing. They will be working on this area as well as the new retaining wall.
