(Atlantic) The Corporate Loss Specialist for EMC Insurance released the cost estimate to renovate the Atlantic Middle School. The structure sustained roof and extensive interior damage from the July accidental fire closing down the facility for the entire school year.
Scott Signor met with the Atlantic School Board at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday and started the cleaning and reconstruction would cost an estimated $5.5 and 6 million dollars. Atlantic School Superintendent Steve Barber says the cost estimate isn’t necessarily set in stone because the full scope of the project still needs finalizing.
Barber points out that most of the rooms will be carpet, primarily because of the short supply of wood flooring.
Barber says the students will remain at their temporary locations for the remainder of the school year.
The roof repair part of the project will begin soon. The good news is the Middle School Gymnasium will be available for basketball practices this winter.
We will have more information from this meeting.
