NEW YORK, N.Y. — Turner Construction Company announced construction is underway on a $28-million modernization of Kramer Middle School in Washington, D.C., which has not seen a significant renovation since its original construction in 1943.
“On this job we are putting more than $17 million in place in nine weeks, which is no small feat,” said Kaan Celebi, project manager. He continued, “I”m confident that we will pull it off for the students, the client and the community.”
Scheduled for completion in phases, planned improvements include installation of a new elevator, build-out of IT and electrical closets, replacement of the building’s mechanical and life safety systems and installation of upgraded windows, exterior doors and exterior lighting.
On just the second day of wall and ceiling demolition, the project team began hanging ductwork and piping for the updated mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, by the second week, they had installed steel on the roof to support the installation of mechanical units which arrived shortly thereafter and, by the fourth week, they had completed inspections and begun painting and finish work on two floors. Work still ahead includes additional architectural upgrades to hallways, classrooms, bathrooms, the cafeteria and the gymnasium and the school’s entrances.
