Construction moving at Crystal River
CRYSTAL RIVER — What had been the largest classroom building at Crystal River High School is now part of the school’s past.
Last week, construction crews used heavy equipment to knock down the 500 Building to make room for the school’s renovation and expansion — a project that has been ongoing for a year now.
Clyde Douglas, project manager for the Citrus County School district, said the building was between 50,000 to 75,000 square feet in size.
The new two-story administration and classroom buildings are slated to be finished Aug. 1, according to Gary Goodman, a construction project manager for ACA Construction Group LLC, the building contractor doing the work at the high school. Students return to school Aug. 8.
Also set for completion as part of Phase 1A of the construction project: a new chiller building and a baseball field complete with a new concession stand.
In the main lobby of the administration building, the flooring is stained and highly polished concrete, dark gray with a wavy design of dark blue in the middle to represent a river.
