Millburn School Renovations Made For Busy Summer (See The List)

MILLBURN, NJ — Summer may mean a break for students, but like the district’s teachers, the Millburn Public School District’s staff have been hard at work this summer making improvements to classrooms, parking lots, restrooms and other spaces.

In a recent superintendent’s update email, new Director of Buildings and Grounds Paul McDevitt gave the school community an update about what’s been happening in Millburn this summer. Check out his list below. Don’t forget to visit the Patch Millburn-Short Hills Facebook page here.

HS Project: “The high school addition is continuing, with completion scheduled by the end of September. Casework is being installed inside, and wiring being run in the renovated space. In the innovative space, finish work of lighting, floor polishing and furniture delivery are expected to be completed in the next few weeks.”

HS Parking Lot: “The high school parking lot project has begun. Contractors are removing the grass islands to create more space. The lot will be graded and usable for the beginning of school, with final paving scheduled during the school closure days on September 10 and 11.”

MS Projects: “The middle school addition is continuing to progress at a good pace. We currently anticipate the new addition being available towards the end of September (the wood flooring needs a few weeks to acclimate before installing and sealing on the gym floor). The renovation of the multi-purpose room should be completed by the original substantial completion date in November. The corridor leading to the new addition will be operational when school opens as a means of egress for emergencies.”

Restroom Projects: “These are all moving along with painting, tiling and fixtures being installed. The restrooms have passed ceiling inspections at all schools. Restrooms have also been prioritized so that all student restrooms are expected to be completed before school opens.”

Wyoming Innovative Space: “This project is complete and furniture is in place, with books on the shelves. Replacement of Wyoming's computer room floor is also complete.”

Glenwood Innovative Space: “This project is complete with new paint, electrical work and new furniture all in place.”
