Construction on Pace at New Dover High School

DOVER, Del.-- If you've driven along route 8 west of Dover, there's a good chance you've seen the massive construction site that will soon be the new Dover High School.  Construction started in October and the builder says they're right on schedule.
The 100 acre piece of land will soon hold the biggest high school in Delaware. 
"Right now I am standing in the middle of the classroom building, face out to route 8 which is the front of the building," said Kevin Lucas, EDiS Senior Project Manager.  
Concrete was already poured there,  Lucas said the architect designed the school to be green, complete with energy and environmental efficiencies. 
"Progress is going well, coming off winter weather conditions moving into spring, everything looks to be on schedule at this time," said Lucas.  Next for the high school is steel.  "We will be receiving structural steel for the building in the first part of April and erection to start first week of April."
The new Dover High School is scheduled to be done in the spring of 2014. The school cost $114 million dollars and when it's done it'll be home to 1,700 high school students
