Students Sign Beam, Top Off New Harrison High School

Harrison, NJ (December 21, 2005) - Harrison students took part in a Beam Signing and Topping Off ceremony for the new state-of-the-art Harrison High School. Joining the students were representatives of Harrison School District and the New Jersey Schools Construction Corporation (SCC), along with parents, teachers, area officials and community supporters.

The celebration marked a major milestone in construction, which got under way last January. It is scheduled for completion by spring 2007.

The 167,000-square-foot facility will accommodate 850 students in 9th through 12th grades. It will include 30 general classrooms, four special education classrooms, two classrooms for small group instruction, two gymnasiums, a media center, science labs, a computer room and an instrumental/vocal music room. The school, designed by El Associates, Architects and Engineers, is being built by Terminal Construction Corporation. Bovis Lend-Lease is the SCC's project management firm, in alliance with Imperial Construction Group.

SCC is fully funding and managing construction of the approximately $60 million school on a 10-acre parcel in the northwest corner of the Town of Harrison.
