On October 27, Central Florida Commercial Team Members, subcontractors, and vendors joined in celebrating the Topping Out of the School District of Osceola County’s Knightsbridge K-8. See event pics here and a video here. As workers entered what will be the school’s gymnasium, they received t-shirts, raffle tickets for a chance to win more than $5,000 in prizes, and a feast from Bubbalou’s Bodacious Bar-B-Que.
Senior Project Manager Logan Sleight thanked the crowd for their hard work and incredible progress since the groundbreaking only a few months ago in April. “This celebration is not for us, not for the owners, it’s not for the companies, it’s for the workers who are here every single day,” Logan said.
About the Project:
The $59 million project sits on a 58-acre site. It includes a 145,000-square-foot, three-story Kindergarten through Eighth-grade school with a Gymnasium, Kitchen, Cafeteria/Assembly area, Classrooms, Science Labs, Locker Rooms, Administration, Utility, and support spaces. The campus will be on Poinciana Boulevard, north of Old Tampa Highway in Kissimmee, Florida.
This new school, with high-performance building elements, will be made of concrete tilt panels and structural steel and will have a thermoplastic membrane roofing system over lightweight concrete. In addition to the school building, the project includes an outdoor multi-use field, track, and basketball courts, a concession building, and all necessary site construction, including parking lots, sidewalks, and driveways.
