Project Schedule

The Ed Spec Committee has agreed to target an accelerated schedule, which will enable the new schools be complete and moved into the new buildings in January 2011 (instead of August 2011). The accelerated schedule also benefits the Valley View Middle School project, by allowing the middle school to occupy the interim site earlier, which will save on projected construction cost escalation. Students and staff from both Machias and Riverview are scheduled to occupy the interim site for a year and a half, from the end of school in June 2009 until school resumes at the end of Winter Break in January 2011.

The targeted schedule is shown below. If the committee feels that the quality of the final school projects may be compromised due to the acceleration, the schedule will revert to the longer duration. It is understood that factors outside of the project team's control (permitting times, weather, etc.) may also impact the schedule, pushing the move-in date back to Summer 2011.
