October 2020 Update on the Bond Projects

Here are some highlights -
On Monday, October 12, 2020, the Farwell Area Schools broke ground for the New Wing of the Elementary School.
This project will set the stage for a busy summer of construction in 2021. The goal is to have the new wing enclosed before the onset of winter allowing construction to continue through the winter. Once the new addition is completed, then the demolition of the 1949 Teachout Wing will begin. With the exception of the new roofs and track, much of this summer’s work was only visible from the inside of our schools.
We are looking forward to the operational savings and reliability that our new boilers in Elementary and High School will provide the district.
Major projects completed in the summer of 2020 include:
Newly repaired and resrufaced track
