AKRON — Tippecanoe Valley High School’s new agriculture section should be complete soon.

The Tippecanoe Valley School Board heard that news from The Skillman Corp. Project Manager Scott Rogers at its monthly work session on Thursday, June 13, at TVHS. The Skillman Corp. is the construction management company for TVHS’ ongoing construction project.

“We just finished putting in all the doors today, all the windows have been set,” said Rogers of the new agriculture section, which has several classrooms and a shop space. “The majority of the walls have been painted. There’s still some walls in the actual lab area that we have to finish painting.”

Rogers also said bleacher seating “is complete” at the pool.

“In the auditorium, we’re mostly focused on doing all the ceiling tile panels up in the ceiling space as well as doing all the light fixtures,” he said. “Masons are finishing up the rest of the brickwork in the auditorium.”

Rogers said the agriculture section should be complete by early July.

“Auditorium and the pool are reaching a little bit towards the end of August right now,” he said. “The big thing with the pool is that we’re in that final stretch for the tile, so once that’s done, we’ll have a much better idea of when that will be completed.”

He also said a multipurpose room renovation should be done in “August into September.”
