School’s Bus Barn, Wrestling Room Making Progress

Shane Reed, facilities director for the Wolf Point School District, is pleased that the district’s bus barn addition is now completed and the weight room/ wrestling room is nearly finished.

“The bus barn is done. We’ve done the punch list,” Reed said last week.

Improvements on the bus barn expansion include room for more than two buses and a space for maintenance.

The project was estimated to cost $1.39 million to complete.

“We’re preparing to move buses in it,” Reed said. “He already has one bus in it.”

For the weight room/wrestling room, the tentative plan was to have the project completed during the first week of April. The project is estimated to cost $3.3 million.

Once the structure is done, school officials will still need to add the weight lifting equipment and two new wrestling mats.

“We’re hoping that within the next two or three weeks, we can be getting the kids in,” Reed said.

He noted the weight room will include TVs for students to view while working out. He feels students are excited about the addition.

“It’s going to be pretty sweet,” Reed said.
