Project Status
UPDATE: Construction of the new Thornton Elementary is officially underway after the groundbreaking ceremony was held Dec. 1, 2021. Read about the groundbreaking.
It’s still early in the process, but construction of the new building is on schedule. After lots of preparations – grading, installing utilities, drilling piers, pouring grade beams and more – Thornton has gone vertical, which means steel is being erected. The steel framing and steel floor decking have been installed in the future cafeteria/kitchen and the future library, and plumbing is being installed in the crawl space. The concrete for some of the parking lot and about half of the fire lane have been poured so far.
Upcoming work includes installing more electrical and plumbing in the crawl space, hanging a lot more steel and pouring a lot more concrete.
Thornton celebrated its history at the end of the final school year in its old building. Read more.
