General Description
Bordewich Bray Elementary is located near the central west side of Carson City and is part of the Carson City School District.  Prior to the addition, the campus consisted of five modular and 2 conventional building spaces.  An addition was built, consolidating the seven-building campus into one building.  The project added classrooms, a choir room, administrative offices and a library totaling approximately 35,000 sq ft.   The Borderwich Bray elementary project is a shinning example of how the construction management process can work and be a win-win situation for everyone involved.  The School District was able to stay focused on the business of running schools while the construction management team got to the business of finding the best contractors to build a school the community and an entire city could be proud of.  From passing of the school bond throughout the construction process this was a community effort.

Special Challenges
One of the challenges in doing this project was brought on by the weather.  Building through the winter months required both heating of water for the masons and protecting the masonry work from freezing at night. One of the pleasant challenges of this project was the 800 K thru 5th grade kid’s who were attending school everyday throughout the course of construction.
