Here's a breakdown of the current status for each project:
Large Group Instruction (LGI) Space: Located off the Owego Free Academy (OFA) main lobby, the LGI is now back in use! Students and staff have been using this space for instruction, presentations, and special events since the start of the school year. We're finalizing a few minor items, but the space is functional.
OFA Gymnasium: This project is on track and expected to be completed within the next week. You can look forward to seeing the space back in use very soon, even as we continue to work on a few minor finishing touches.
OAMS/OFA Roof: The new roof is approximately 75% complete, and we anticipate full completion by the end of September.
Community Pool: The pool is expected to be finished by mid-October. This slight delay is due to the lead time needed for key items, including the new starting blocks.
OAMS/OFA Music Suite: The music suite will be completed in phases throughout October. This phased approach is necessary because of the required removal and reinstallation of the original fireproofing, which caused a slight delay in the schedule.
We're grateful for your continued support as we build a better environment for our school community.
Yesterday we had the privilege to welcome Honors Program Leaders Matthew and Hailey from the Binghamton University School of Management. They spoke to various classes here at OFA on the importance of networking!
