August/September 2010

The framing, lathe, plaster, drywall, insulation, and roofing are complete; mechanical units and fixtures are in place; the electrical vault, rain retention system tank, glass, doors, and photovoltaic panels have been installed -- Westridge is in the final stage of completion toward the fall opening of the Upper School science building.

The finishing touches, including flooring, carpet, furniture, and aquarium livestock, will be completed prior to the start of school.  Construction will conclude with landscaping, irrigation, and fencing at the end of the month, for completion in early September.

The building will be ready for occupancy on the first day of classes, Wednesday, September 1.
