Construction continues to move forward at The Benedictine School’s new residential building in Ridgely, Maryland, where crews are making significant progress on the systems, finishes, and site improvements that will help create a welcoming and supportive living environment for residents.
Over the past month, activity has been focused on transitioning many areas from rough-in work to finishes. Interior progress has included drywall finishing, ceiling installation, painting preparation, framing punch-out work, door frame installation, and continued build-down and bulkhead construction throughout corridors, common spaces, and the infirmary. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems have also advanced substantially, with ongoing ductwork installation, smoke dampers, electrical room work, circuit installation, lighting, water lines, fire sprinkler drops and heads, and utility connections throughout the building.
Outside, crews have continued grading and landscaping preparations, installed sidewalks around the infirmary courtyard, and advanced exterior siding and soffit work. Several areas have now been released for paint, while others are entering the final stages of drywall finishing and ceiling installation—clear signs that the project is continuing to move steadily toward completion.
With multiple trades working simultaneously across the site, it's exciting to see this important project evolve from structure and systems into finished living spaces that will serve the Benedictine community for years to come.
