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.

PART TWO

Our second post today...

The BAC Entrance is complete...



The courtyard sidewalks are complete. This is the walkway travels from Miss Lynne's classroom to the Playground.


Easy accessibility to the parking lot is assured with the extended sidewalk as well as providing additional loading space.


The flooring for the Reception and Library adds great warmth to the space.


Back to work....more later.

THE INSPECTORS

As we work to wrap things up, the inspection process has begun. Inspectors from the City of Dallas, the engineering third party inspector and the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration have begun their work. We have passed the first two inspections of electrical and HVAC systems.

Below is the completed hand washing station typical for the classrooms.


Child sized toilets are standard to each of the 10 restrooms.


The glass inserts to the BAC doors.


Each of the seven units that heat and cool the building is managed by a programmable thermostat. These combined with the highly efficient equipment and insulation will make the building economical to operate and comfortable for the students and Guides.
