Over winter break, the heavy rain and extreme weather led to six days without working on the new performing arts center. According to Principal Michael Grove, a detailed calendar of the construction was created, which factored in rain days. However, after the rain all of these days have been used.

In the case of more extreme weather, the construction will fall behind the schedule, said Grove. In that case, the construction can be accelerated. “Sometimes things get done more quickly or slower [than the schedule],” said Grove.

At the current stage of construction, rain shouldn’t be too much of an issue, said Grove. “The roofs are now on, so when it rains it is only the exterior work that can’t be done,” said Grove. If it rains, exterior work, such as the walls and the roof, can’t be worked on. Once these parts are completed, only the interior parts of the performing arts center will need to be completed; construction can still be done on the interior in the case of more extreme weather, said Grove. The new performing arts center is still scheduled to open on Aug 1.
