July 2, 2015 – In the wake of recent stormy weather, alert facilities staff discovered that the Woodbury School clock tower was leaning slightly from its vertical position. An engineering assessment determined that the structure must be removed, repaired, and restored. An architectural firm will review the design and construction of the clock tower and provide a plan for its restoration.
The District has constructed a safety fence perimeter around the main building and has relocated offices from that space to the adjacent wings. Both wings of the building, the gym, and the pool buildings remain open.
During the next two weeks, the District expects that the tower will be removed and that the main building will be reopened. A timeline for the restoration of the tower, including the clock and the cupola, has not yet been established, but the project is likely to take a number of months. The District will provide updates on the progress.
