Mesothelioma and Asbestos

Santa Rita Elementary in San Angelo, Texas is undergoing $2.1 million in renovations as part of the school district’s $117 million bond project. The brick school building was built in the 1920s, so renovations are extensive.

Construction work began in June when the school year ended, as well as will continue through the coming school year until August 2010. Classes will still begin on time, though some classes may possess to be shuffled around as rooms are opened as well as closed for construction. The shuffles will take place at winter as well as spring breaks.

The kindergarten classrooms as well as a earliest grade classroom are currently closed, so those students will be temporarily relocated to portable buildings, computer labs as well as other spaces. Guides will help students find their classrooms when school opens.

Renovations are being completed one section at a time. Asbestos abatement has to take place before remodeling can begin. The project is currently on schedule as well as under budget, but they possess found asbestos in some unexpected places. School officials are excited about the renovations as well as the changes they bring.
