First Look: Inside Wadsworth’s New Intermediate Building Construction

Reagan Hunt and Rylee Ward • January 15, 2025

The Board of Education and The Bruin recently got the opportunity to take a tour around the newly built intermediate school in December.
“Very exciting to see the progress [Hammond Construction] has made,” said Tim Beck, Board of Education member. “We [the board of education] were able to take a tour back in September, so a lot has been done, and I’m glad to hear they’re on track for opening the school in August 2025.”
