Trace Creek Construction, Inc. Named Construction Manager for Boyd County Middle School Renovation

ASHLAND, Ky. - Feb. 12, 2015 - PRLog -- Trace Creek will be working alongside respected architectural firm Sherman Carter Barnhart to deliver a top-notch renovation project for Boyd County Middle School.

Boyd County Middle School has been a fixture of the Ashland community since its opening in 1976. However, after 39 years of service the original building has reached the end of its useful life.

The $18.8 million renovation project is scheduled to begin in fall 2015 and will provide much-needed improvements and upgrades to the deteriorating building, both inside and out. “This project is a total renovation,” said Trace Creek CEO Sam Howard. “Trace Creek is pleased to have this opportunity to manage the construction of a building that will enhance the learning experience for Boyd County students.”

A major focus of the renovation is to provide important technology improvements which will provide state-of-the-art networking and computer functionality. These improvements are designed to provide enriched educational opportunities, and will help Boyd County students keep pace with evolving technology.

In addition to providing state-of-the-art connectivity, this renovation project will also add important elements which are beneficial to the student experience. Boyd County Middle School was originally built with very few external windows; this renovation will add new windows in strategic locations to provide natural light. One exterior wall of the gymnasium will be replaced, and the school will receive new heating and air conditioning as well as a new roof.

“It is always a pleasure and a privilege to manage the construction of an educational facility,” Howard said.” Each one is special and has unique needs and challenges. Because school will be in session during this renovation, our top priority is to ensure that construction goals are met while maintaining a safe educational environment for students that is minimally disruptive to their education experience.”

Trace Creek has managed the construction of more than 70 educational buildings for local boards of education, state and private universities and the Kentucky Community and Technical College system. “We understand the unique needs of educational facilities, as well as the hard use that students can inflict upon buildings,” Howard said. “We are honored to be able to help modernize Boyd County Middle School. We are committed to providing Boyd County students, faculty, staff and parents with an educational facility that will stand the test of time.”
