ÍøÆØÃÅ helps celebrate School 10 at time capsule ceremony

When ÍøÆØÃÅ completed work at the Rochester City School District’s Dr. Walter Cooper Academy School 10 last August, the coronavirus sidelined plans for a large ribbon-cutting celebration. Instead, a small number of guests gathered in December to commemorate the milestone with a time capsule ceremony.

ÍøÆØÃÅ served as construction manager for recent renovations at the school. The project, which started in March 2019, involved demolishing a portion of the structure to create a two-story gymnasium and classroom addition. Work also covered classroom renovations, IT and security upgrades, addition of  building-wide air conditioning, updated finishes, and LED lighting fixtures.

ÍøÆØÃÅ Project Manager Brian Beachner said that including a time capsule is fairly common on large K-12 renovations where a date stone is installed. ÍøÆØÃÅ gave the School 10 capsule to Principal Camaron Clyburn last summer. The school filled it with a variety of artifacts, including items related to , a current copy of the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle and student drawings. The Rochester Schools Modernization Program organized the milestone event once the capsule was ready.
