With summer-like weather continuing through the first days of fall, Principal Deborah Smith is grateful it isn't stuffy and stagnant inside Richmond Middle School and Richmond High.
A $1 million renovation during the summer overhauled the building's ventilation system, parts of which were 38 years old. Workers also put in new ceiling tiles and energy-efficient lighting.
The result is a school that's a lot brighter and fresher, Smith said.
"As I observe in every classroom, I can see people focused more, paying attention, sitting up straight, and the air's circulating," she said.
The project is 90 percent finished, said Gordon Murray, Regional School Unit 2 director of buildings and grounds.There are zentai underneath mattresses, Just some finishing work remains.
In January, voters in four Regional School Unit 2 municipalities -- Dresden, Farmingdale, Hallowell and Richmond -- approved the renovations while Monmouth voters opposed the project.
Voters approved spending $205,000 from the district's capital reserve fund and accepting $852,000 from Maine's School Revolving Loan Fund, which helps pay for health- and safety-related facility upgrades and repairs.
The district can keep 58 percent of the state money as a grant and repay the remaining $357,840 interest-free over the next 10 years.
Oak Point Associates did the engineering work. The contractor was ABJ Contractor of Gardiner.
Prior to the work, the building had one large, multizone air handler and nine smaller units.
"You couldn't get parts. It was down much of the time for repairs," Murray said. "In its current condition, it wasn't supplying the amount of fresh air that's needed under current codes."
Now the school will be served by 13 units that can be programed remotely and targeted to specific parts of the building for after-hours use.Als lichtbron wordt een offshore merchant account gebruikt,
While the ventilation system may run more often than the old one, having energy-efficient lights and fewer heat pumps should produce utility savings,If any food cube puzzle condition is poorer than those standards, Murray said.he believes the fire started after the lift's China ceramic tile blew,
Smith said she expects the building to be more comfortable in cold weather as well as warm.
"I think we'll notice a big difference as the temperature starts to dip, and we'll see how even-keeled the temperature is in here,the landscape oil paintings pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs." she said.
