In the home stretchProject Manager Jessie Steiger recently led a site tour of McDaniel for several students and principal Adam Skyles. They saw the latest upgrades across the site that is in the final stretches of work in preparation for the opening of the fully modernized school this September.
Recent highlights include work in the Commons. This new centerpiece of the school is revealing its final form as drywall and finish painting work completes, followed by the installation of decorative wood paneling.
The science wing work is complete and awaiting the installation of furniture. The students took special interest in the Sustainable Agriculture classroom where equipment for the preparation of food has been installed.
In the school’s north wing they walked the finished hallways and viewed completed classrooms that are waiting for furniture to arrive in the coming weeks.
The students also were able to peer behind the walls and notice the seismic upgrades that will make their new school safer in the event of an earthquake.
In the fine arts wing the theatre stage rigging is complete and soon the wooden stage floor will be installed. The black box theatre is now finished and will be a wonderful new addition to the fine arts program at McDaniel.The students were in awe of both gyms that are now finished and walked through the locker rooms that are nearly complete.
They ended their tour by checking out the new grandstand from which they were able to survey the completed work on the new track and fields.
April 2021
Athletics fields and gym floors are completeWorkers are busy all across the McDaniel site was we move closer to reopening. The majority of the work continues on the inside now that the athletic field work is nearly complete.

March 2021
Workers focus on the building's interiorThe Leodis V. McDaniel construction site is a beehive of activity with reopening less than 6 months away. On the exterior, the ball fields and support structures are now complete and the sidewalk replacement along 82nd Ave. is under way. The exterior work on the Science/Administrative wing is complete. With its large windows and beautiful brick façade, it radiates out from the hill offering a hint of what a newly modernized McDaniel High School has to offer the community.
The majority of the remaining work will be on the interior. In the Gym, the ceiling is near completion and basketball backboards and hoops are in place. Decorative wood panels, that were salvaged from the original Madison gym bleachers, have been hung on the walls. In the coming weeks new wood floors will be laid down in both the main and auxiliary gym.
In classrooms throughout the campus drywall is up, floors are being finished and in some places, like the science wing, finished carpentry is near completion and science stations are being installed.
There is much activity going on in the commons; drywall is complete and steel staircases are in place. Next to the Commons the concrete stairs and the seating area for the new social stair are done.
In the new auditorium, the seating area concrete is complete and framing work is underway on the control booth. The drywall in the Black Box theatre is also complete. Changes will continue to come fast in the coming months as we head toward reopening at the start of the 2021-22 school year.
Nov/Dec 2020
A visual tour of the latest workAs the holidays approach there is much progress to be seen on the Leodis V. McDaniel construction site. Walking up the old steps along 82nd, the biggest change to be seen is the development of new science wing addition with its glass, brick and metal panel exterior.
Within the Science Wing ia a two-story atrium where physics students will conduct drop experiments from the second floor, sustainable agriculture students will bring plants in from the garden and chemistry students will work in new facilities with view windows that allow students to see through to the next classroom.
From that building if you look south out to the fields you'd see theat final grading has occurred and the field is now ready for turf installion. Fun fact -- Grading is the process of leveling a land surface to a desired gradient by cutting, filling, and smoothing the soil. It's what allows the field to be flat! Field fencing and netting has also recently been added.
From the fields looking back towards the football field, you can see the start of the stadium structure and bleacher installation with walls and ramp work.
At the gym building, work on the exterior continues with the adding of insulation prior to adding the brick finish that has started on the southwest corner of the Auxiliary gym. Inside the gym concrete masonry is being installed in locker rooms and restrooms.In the middle of the campus you'll see that the CTE/Arts courtyard has had insulation installed on the exterior surfaces in preparation for the addition of final finish. Inside the new theatre, the scaffolding is down and the upper theatre is painted black. Lower seating concrete is being poured and formed.
Work on Cafeteria/Commons continues with framing taking place on the second floor connecting bridges and equipment installation is underway in the kitchen. In the Commons, the windows are now in and concrete has been poured and set at the raised platform. This is where future speakers, student presentations and musicians will stand as they overlook the expanse of the commons. In all areas of the campus classrooms are in various stages of completion with insulation, drywall and painting work underway.Oct 2020
Principal Skyles tours the siteMadison Principal Adam Skyles toured the site in late September with Project Manager Jessie Steiger. On their walk they were able to see the progress the project has made in brick installation on the new Theatre, that drywall and paint is happening and work is progressing in the new commons, the new connecting walkways and both new gyms. Also underway are improvements to the track and field area including concrete wall at the concessions and the continuation of fencing at the backstops.
On the exterior of the gym building, waterproofing is up and in the SW corner brick installation has started. On the interior, work on the locker rooms and the electrical room continues with plumbing the current focus.
The Auxiliary gym is also coming along. This view looking west towards the large window at the mezzanine level gives early indication of the great views into and from this space.In the center of the campus work is progressing in the new commons with the completion of the radiant slab this month and the connecting walkways beginning to take shape. In the South Campus Career and Technical Education CTE/ Classroom wing, drywall has been installed and Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing work is underway.
In this CTE Engineering classroom, where the drywall has been completed the alcove awaits future 3D printers and other equipment. Career and Technical Education (CTE) includes a wide variety of disciplines that allow students to experience rigorous, hands-on learning and acquire skills that are transferable to a multitude of future career pathways in healthcare, construction, technology, engineering, digital media, and many more.
Over at the new Theater, scaffolding has been installed throughout the theatre interior to enable the crew to start Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing rough-in above the Theater seating. On the exterior of the building, waterproofing and brick installation is well underway.
In the Science and Administration wing that overlooks 82nd Ave windows are being installed and exterior waterproofing is underway. The building’s many windows allow for beautiful vistas both inside and out. For students, access to natural light in their classrooms has a proven beneficial impact on learning and well-being.

Demolition complete, interior remodeling begins
If you drive by Madison High School you’ll notice many big changes. The original front entrance has been removed as have the original gym building, theatre and the cafeteria. Prior to their demolition, bricks, bleachers and the gym wood flooring were salvaged for re-use later on in the project.Hazardous material abatement has been completed and extensive remodeling is now underway. The existing concrete structure is being modified and supplemented with new structural elements to bring the building up to current seismic standards.
In the new Performing Arts wing, the orchestra pit is in place. The main building pad has also been poured, preparing the way for construction of the black box theater, band and choir classrooms.In the new gym, the foundations are underway and the masonry walls should start to rise in late January or early February.
October 2019
After a successful summer move into the Marshall Campus, Madison staff and students are into the swing of things in their new home for two years. Artwork and posters came over from Madison to help the Marshall Campus feel like home. Prior to demo, the contractor has salvaged brick, bleachers and gym wood flooring for re-use on the project.At the project site, demolition and abatement are in going well. The first area demolished this summer was the administration wing, followed by the gym building and theatre. Interior abatement and architectural demo continues in the old cafeteria in prep for demolition. From the sidewalk on 82nd you can see a new pad going in. This area will become the main office and the science beacon.
June 2019
We started work in June and the contractor, Fortis, really hit the ground running! The main entrance/admin area has been abated and the interior demolition is nearly complete. This wing will start to be demolished to the ground the week of August 19. I wanted to let you know because that can be kind of fun to watch. Feel free to stop by any time that week and view the demolition from Glenhaven Park. Viewers c will need to stay outside of the construction fence and either be in Glenhaven Park or on the sidewalk along 82nd.The gym, theater, and cafeteria demolitions will follow over the next 2-3 months, so there will be other opportunities to stop by for demolition viewing. We’re working on a monthly update we can send out with photos and information on construction progress, so stay tuned.

School Name Change
欧美巨乳色情片 Board of Education Unanimously Approves Name Change from Madison to Leodis V. McDaniel High School
For several months, the Madison Renaming Committee engaged the community through robust outreach efforts. They spent countless hours in careful consideration of the most appropriate name to fit the school’s C.R.E.E.D (Community, Respect, Education, Equity, Diversity) values.
They selected Leodis V. McDaniel, a greatly respected and highly celebrated former principal of Madison High. McDaniel was one of only a handful of Black High school principals in Oregon in the 1970s and 1980s and was tasked with leading Madison through desegregation and busing. McDaniel was wildly popular with students and staff while earning numerous awards and accolades from the many community organizations to which he contributed.
