Contractors work Monday in a classroom under renovation at Twin Spruce Junior High School, one of a number of schools in the Campbell County School District that saw changes over the summer through about $9 million worth of work.

The kitchen at Rozet Elementary School got some upgrades over the summer.

Work on a former office that will become a pair of student bathrooms is near completion Monday as part of renovations at Twin Spruce Junior High School.

In more than 20 extensive summer construction projects or upgrades at Campbell County schools, only one risks not being completed before the start of school for students Tuesday.

Those projects done through component or major maintenance money provided by the state of Wyoming range from boiler replacement to facelift improvements and remodeling of school wings. It includes HVAC work at Meadowlark Elementary, new phones and security systems at three schools, skylight replacements at Paintbrush Elementary and concrete and parking lot repairs and overlays throughout the Campbell County School District.

Almost $9 million worth of work has taken place this summer on those smaller capital projects, not including Thunder Basin High Schools additions or new track/soccer/football stadium.

The one project that may not be completed before the start of school is the first phase of the remodeling of the science and math wings at Twin Spruce Junior High. District officials and Kirby Eisenhauer, associate superintendent of instructional support, are keeping their fingers crossed that the work will be done on time.

It includes adding bathrooms to the second and third floors at Twin Spruce, with the second phase taking place next summer.

Heres a look at some of the projects, costs and work this past summer in Campbell County, much of it through local companies:
