August 1, 2013

The Friedburg Building is turning out beautifully!  The pictures above and just below this text were taken just a couple days ago, to give you an idea of how close to completion we are.

Nearly every part of Friedburg has been updated this summer.  To give you an idea, here’s some of what’s happened:

  • Replaced!
    • Windows
    • Siding
    • Lights
    • Counters
    • Most sinks
    • Insulation
    • Paint – yellow, white, and for the outside doors, green!
    • Cupolas
    • Floors
    • Doors
    • Outlets & Wiring
  • Added!
    • New kitchen layout, including a dishwasher, an adult sink, and counter space for students – which will help with our practical life curriculum!
    • New Drywall over old wood paneling (a difficult choice, but we think you’ll agree: the results are beautiful, and will be much more energy efficient)

Here are some pictures from earlier on, so that you can see why we did this crucial work to update our campus:

This fall, we’ll have some very lucky Children’s House (Primary) students in this rejuvenated space!
