North Branch continues construction of Kingswood High School despite challenges

North Branch Construction has been performing major summer construction for the Kingswood Middle School, High School, and Vocational School. With students on summer vacation, approximately 300 construction workers have been on-site each day to complete renovations to all three schools. Recent demolition has led to the discovery of a hidden asbestos ceiling and unbraced concrete block walls in the high school cafeteria. This dangerous find resulted in a slight delay in the construction schedule while North Branch overcame the unexpected challenge. In what has been deemed "the most complicated public school project in the history of the state," by Governor Wentworth School District superintendent Jack Robertson, North Branch continues to work with building inspectors, the school district and its principals, and CMK Architects, to provide the community of Wolfeboro with fully renovated, upgraded, and safe facilities for their students. Construction is planned to be completed in July 2012.
