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.

THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESS

It isn't really a secret. A great team makes it all work.

The ceiling grids are almost complete which now allow us to have the Solatubes installed as well as fittings for the HVAC system as you see below. This image also indicates the final placement of the cubbies with clear access to the Children's Kitchen. Most of the interior doors are also in place.

Speaking of cubbies, the final sets have been installed in the BAC. You can also see the half light doors that will allow classroom observation without interruption.

With the bulk of the interior carpentry completed the painters are now working hard to prepare the millwork. Sanding, caulking and filling all occur even before the priming begins. Then the painters go back and start the prep for the application of the finish coats. One of the crews are shown working in the BAC.

A glimpse at the many systems that will be hidden behind the new ceilings.

Even without the heat being on, the insulation is keeping the building far more comfortable on these cold mornings then might be expected. I am as excited about the new operating systems for the building as I am the Library (we all have our 'hot buttons').
