JPS Capital Projects Wrapping Up For Start of School
The Jamestown School Board received an update on three buildings undergoing capital projects this summer. JPS Director of Buildings & Grounds & Transportation Carl Pillittieri said the work at the Tech Academy, Fletcher Elementary, and the High School are all multi-phase projects, “So the Tech Academy and Fletcher were in summer number two of two. The high school we’re in one of three summers. And phasing allows us to create a good balance of work, orchestrates a smooth transition between and cut off between disciplines such as plumbing and electrical and mechanical. We maximize time on the job and it allows us to use critical swing spaces as the project moves throughout the building as most of our buildings have space constraints.”
