The new strength and conditioning facility is nearly complete at Falls City High School. The flooring will be installed in the building this week, and the H-VAC system and equipment also have yet to be installed. Completion of the new weight room, located in what was the track storage area adjacent to Jug Brown Stadium, is expected by the end of May.
A lifting technique camp and coaches certification on the weight equipment will be held next week. The weight room will be open for the summer lifting program from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Middle school students can use the facility from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. Monday through Friday.
The school district will hold an open house at some point to showcase the new facility to the public.
Other summer maintenance projects are set to begin with the end of the school year this week.
One major project that will begin once the year concludes is the replacement of the Middle School Gym floor.
Other projects to be completed this summer include roof maintenance and an air infiltration study at all four buildings; upgrades to the security system; concrete replacement, including replacing the south sidewalk at North School and replacing concrete at the north gym doors at the High School; painting ceilings of two rooms at North School; and replacing carpet in one room at South School.
