Classroom Demo with Spray Paint

Construction Update #2

Classroom Demo with Spray Paint
Picture displays classroom wall taken down with just framing exposed. Orange spray paint outlines area on floor.

Two weeks in and the demolition phase is in full swing. Walls have come down, framing is going up, and progress is continuing to be made. 

Do you have a guess as to what that orange spray paint is doing on the floor? 

It notifies workers that new plumbing will be installed in that area. In this picture, it shows where the plumbing will go to host a new sink in the classroom.

Can you believe these pictures are of the same classroom? 

Major changes are already visible throughout our new campus just one week into renovations. 

Special shout out to our general contractor, UrbanCore and our friends over at EDC for their project management in making sure everything stays on timeline. 

Stay tuned for further updates!

Renovations have officially begun on our Nuckols Rd campus! On Wednesday, February 23, 2022 Northstar staff, board members and a small group of community partners and representatives kicked off renovations with a “wall-breaking” ceremony.

Now that the renovations are underway, we will continue to keep you and your family updated on the status of our new campus as we move through the renovation process. These updates will continue to be posted under the "blog" section of our website, as well as in the Navigator News and on social media.
