North Branch Construction completes middle school, continues on high school and tech center
North Branch Construction completed additions and renovations to the Kingswood Middle School in March. North Branch continues work on the high school and technical center.
Current projects in the high school include a lecture hall, two audio/visual studios - one which will be the home of Wolfeboro Community Television, a wood shop, an exercise/weight room, and a dance studio. The technical center will see new child care, healthcare, and electronics and machine tools sections this month.
Modular classrooms will be removed during Spring Break vacation and final sitework will take place during this time. Final paving will be done when students begin their summer vacation on June 22.
Construction remains ahead of schedule and North Branch expects to have all three schools complete by early this summer.
