MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Monongalia County Schools continue progress on facility upgrades, according to Executive Director of Facilities Amanda Washington.
Consolidating administrative operations in one location, a STEM addition at M-Tech and adding outdoor classrooms are highlights of the work being done.
Administrative operations will consolidate at the former MedExpress building in Sabraton. Work there has included painting, exterior improvements, carpet replacement and restriping the parking lot.
Washington said supply chain issues have slowed the work causing the move in date to be moved, but the work is progressing. When finished offices on High Street, Dorsey Avenue, the Suncrest Center and Westover will move into the building.
“I think we’re in good shape here,” Washington said. “We hope to be able to move in sometime after the new year.”
Bringing all the administrative staff together will make meeting and project development more seamless and streamlined. Additionally, the move is expected to lower utility costs and building maintenance expense.
