Springville Middle School students will begin classes in their new building on Monday, January 15. Most of the moving will be completed this week, with final books and lighter things being moved Friday and Monday with the help of the students. Students will be dismissed about 1 p.m. on .Monday, however, to allow teachers to get their materials in order. Lunch will be served and buses will be provided to bring bus students home at this time. Today (Januaryll) there will be a half-day institute for teachers of the district. School will dismiss at 11:45 a.m. and buses will bring bus students home at that time. There will be no lunch served today. The move into the new building was delayed about a month when a frozen water pipe thawed on the weekend of December 9 filling the new school with thousands of gallons of cold water. What would have been a minor problem on a regular working day, turned into a near disaster when the thawed pipe sprayed water into the new school for some 10 to 20 hours. About 30 workmen spent several hours cleaning up the water which had covered half of the floor space of the new building. Omar Hansen, Nebo School District assistant superintendent, said this week there was no permanent damage to the carpet on the floors even though the floors were completely inundated. He said they dried out without damage, pointing out the benefits of using good quality carpet. Two walls of carpeting are being replaced this week, however, Mr. Hansen said, because they were slightly stained from the glue when it became wet. A 60 by 30-foot maple floor in an activities room will have to be replaced, which will take from four to six weeks, Mr. Hansen explained. He said the floor has to be removed, allowing the sub-flooring to dry out completely before the new floor can be laid. Activities which ordinarily would be carried on in that room will continue in the downstairs gymnasium of the old building, the only portion of the old building which will be heated. The floor in the regular gymnasium was not damaged by the water. It has been completely refinished and the gym is now being used by the students. The pipe which burst has now been replaced and relocated so the problem will not happen again. Cost involved is mainly confined to cleanup operations, and will amount to an estimated $15,000 to $20,000, all of which will be covered by insurance, Mr. Hansen said. The building will be in "new building condition" just as it was before the water accident, he added. The new school, located at 500 S. 100 E. was begun in August 1977, with projected occupancy for the 1978-79 school year. General contractor was Paulson Construction Company who bid $1,425,500 for the project. It was funded by a 1956 bond election and state critical building fund monies. The building will house 20 classrooms, band and chorus rooms, kitchen, cafeteria, instructional material center. It is connected to the old gymnasium, previously used for some 38 years, which has been completely renovated and reconditioned. The new building has a total of 48,102 square feet of functional space which joins the existing main level gymnasium gym-nasium of 10,061 square feet, for a total of 58,163 square feet. The.building will be used for sixth and seventh graders in the Springville-Mapleton area.
