• The district applies for required building permits.
• 如果学校是25岁或以上, the district submits landmark nomination to the City of Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board if it wasn’t done in an earlier phase.
  • 通过自我命名建筑, the district avoids having someone else nominate the project, 这会延缓进展.

• 建设 contracts are presented to the Seattle School District Board of Directors for approval and award.

建设

• Hazardous materials abatement and demolition are the first construction activities to begin a project.
• 大楼已建成。.
• Building systems (plumbing, HVAC, lighting, intercom, fire alarm, telephone, data, etc.) are started and tested to confirm that they operate as designed and intended by the engineers.

入住率/学校开放

• The school building is substantially complete.
• The district moves in furniture, fixtures, and equipment (frequently referred to as FF&E) technology, curriculum, and staff contents.
• 教师布置教室.
• 举行剪彩仪式.
• 学校打开.

开学后

• Punchlist and warranty items (final things for contractors to address) are identified and completed.
