The first-floor addition at Hurricane Middle was completed in 1995. The thirty-two classroom addition to Hurricane Middle School which began six years ago will be fully operational by next fall, along with a new kitchen , dining area , and music center . Exterior masonry work is shown with the old gymnasium in the background. Part of the first-floor roof remains visible among the rising walls on the second floor. The new addition at Hurricane Middle is one of the few buildings designed specifically to meet the special needs of a middle school program.
Interior walls begin to rise on the second floor.
Restroom plumbing goes in before the walls. Early in the planning, however, school officials called for footers and a floor slab to support a second floor when additional funding became available. The local contribution was the sixteen classrooms on the first floor. This new grant from the School Building Authority provided for sixteen additional classrooms , a kitchen , commons , and an instructional area for instrumental and choral music . The design of the new school helps promote teamwork among teachers in several core subjects.
