Rebuilding Cobb County’s Oldest High School
Carroll Daniel Construction partnered with the Cobb County School District in Marietta, Georgia, on the Osborne High School rebuild. This project was unique and logistically challenging as our project team constructed a brand-new set of facilities for the county’s oldest high school on an occupied campus. At the heart of the project was the phased demolition and replacement of approximately half of the existing buildings on campus, as well as renovations to the interiors of the remaining buildings on campus. During construction, an additional performing arts center and CTAE building not included in the original contract were added to the project scope.
Prioritizing Safety During Occupied Campus Work
Our project team employed extreme forethought to anticipate the logistical and safety needs of Osborne’s campus to keep our team members, subcontractors, the Osborne students, administration and staff safe. Our Safety Director and members of his team drafted a site-specific safety plan to safely coordinate work activities for all team members and subcontractors, which included day-one training, daily huddles and weekly site-wide safety stand-down meetings.
