Delta High School's natatorium is undergoing energy-saving and visual updates!
A new dehumidification system that reclaims and repurposes moisture to improve efficiency and reduce costs is replacing the outdated, inefficient system. If you visited the site today, you'll see a temporary raised platform spanning the entire pool area, making the ceiling and lighting improvements possible. The roof is also being replaced, along with new paint throughout the whole facility. Once finished, these upgrades combined will enhance visibility and comfort for both swimmers and spectators!

Fort Wayne Community Schools recently consolidated their transportation program from two sites to one. Now it's getting a massive upgrade.
The current facility has been undersized for the 200+ bus drivers and 25+ office staff who safely transport 12,000 students daily. We’re changing that.
This project more than doubles the existing office space and introduces extensive renovations across the structure. From enhanced driver facilities to a new multi-purpose training room, we are proud to deliver a modern facility built to support this essential district team.

Members of BCV, the Admin team from Blackford County Schools, and Meyer Najem toured CoreSlab’s precast plant this morning to see some of the precast panels as they were being made. Precasters were laying in the formliners for the patterned and brick panels, and we were able to see some completed panels in the yard. In just a few weeks, these panels will start going up, and the Blackford Jr/Sr. The HS Performing Arts Center will come to life very quickly!
