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.

WHILE THE CAT'S AWAY

The mice certainly were not playing! While I was away the last few days more great progress was spearheaded by project manager Dale Buchanan. The exterior detailing on the BAC Entrance is being completed. We also have received the delivery date for the beautiful front doors.


I mentioned the solid foam insulation that would be applied to the underside of the roof deck creating the best possible energy savings. The applicators did a wonderful job.



Once the insulation was completed and the sheetrock hangers immediately began their work. Below you will see the view from the BAC toward the Reception Room.


Working on scaffolding and stilts, the hangers are covering the walls and ceilings as needed.

We also just completed a terrific meeting with the painting contractor who will begin the exterior prep this week. Once the sheetrock hanging is complete, we will then recoat the stucco exterior of the building. Things are looking terrific.
