Stanley middle school project moves forward with phased build
Rick Brown of Boomerang Design outlines a 500 foot long by 15 foot high concrete and steel wall along the site. The plan splits into two initial buildings with a crane gap that later forms a third, creating a north public entrance and south bus area to improve traffic flow. The project, on the former athletic fields of Stanley Middle School, targets August 14 completion with work on footings, slab, and soon the main structure. Duke Energy power lines caused a 12 day delay but a phased plan kept schedule. The new middle school will house 41 classrooms, labs, a media center, parking for 175 vehicles, and a six-lane track surrounding athletic fields.
