Construction on the new childcare facility near Eileen Madson Primary School in Invermere is expected to wrap up this fall.
In his report to the board of education, Rocky Mountain School District superintendent Aaron Callaghan says many significant aspects of construction are now complete. These include site services (sewer, water, BC Hydro and Telus), electrical/mechanical work in the building, and insulation/vapor barrier.
Callaghan noted that exterior siding, drywall, painting, millwork, interior finishing, and landscaping are currently underway or will begin soon.
“Lots of work is happening behind the scenes, like procurement of furniture, equipment and supplies, as well as recruitment of staff . . .”
The superintendent indicated that Interior Health will inspect the facility once construction is complete, adding they expect to finish this fall.
