Construction on a gym designed specifically for students with
physical limitations at the Gavilan College campus in Gilroy is
running slightly behind schedule, but is still expected to open
well in time for the start of the fall semester and stay within
budget.
Construction on a gym designed specifically for students with physical limitations at the Gavilan College campus in Gilroy is running slightly behind schedule, but is still expected to open well in time for the start of the fall semester and stay within budget.
The Adaptive Physical Education program at the college, which serves students with physical and psychological disorders, including arthritis and multiple sclerosis, will move into its new 10,500-square-foot, state-of-the-art home in May.
In an update to Gavilan trustees on the progress of construction, Project Manager Casey Michaelis said crews encountered a few delays during the first nine months of construction.
“The contractor (has) experienced some delays on the project due to inclement weather, unforeseen conditions, and, as on any project, coordination issues,” said Michaelis, of Kitchell Capital Expenditure Managers.
Rushford Construction of Santa Clara is currently working weekends to make up for lost time, he said.
The center was anticipated to be “substantially completed” by Feb. 6, but that date has now been pushed back to Feb. 17.
