On Sept. 25, Wharton-Smith team members joined Brevard Public Schools for a ribbon cutting at the new Viera Elementary School. See more pictures.
During the ceremony, Matt Susin, School Board Vice Chair, spoke about the school being slated to open a year early.
“We ramped up our production an entire year, and there’s only one contractor that we looked at that could make that happen and that’s Wharton-Smith. They have been one of the best contractors we’ve had for our district and the number one choice for this school. There’s a reason for that — their quality and what they do on a day-to-day basis with all of their workers is absolutely phenomenal.”
The project team constructed a 125,000-square-foot school with 54 classrooms on a 17-acre greenfield site. The $23 million project also included a 10,000-square-foot standalone, covered play structure with physical education offices, storage rooms, and restrooms.
Congratulations to the project team of David Romero, Brad Newton, Greg Cimeno, Abigail Hillson, Darlene Sanders, Mike Taylor, Jason Anderson, Clarence Barber, Adam Wilcox, Chris Orcasitas, Frank Sagarese, and Johnathan Wilkes.
