Seattle Public Schools has released its latest update on the construction progress of the new co-located Denny Middle School and Chief Sealth High School campus.

"Last month, August, the contractor completed the sub-grade work for the new Denny International Middle School. The contractor also completed the initial work inside the existing Chief Sealth High School as well as the retaining wall along the east side of the property.

The contractor completed a deep sewer tie-in into a manhole in Southwest Kenyon Street. This month, September, work will continue on the foundation for the new Denny International Middle School.

The site asphalt paving at the south end of the project, the parking lots and new drives, will begin and work will continue on the short aggregate pier work and deep sewer line. The contractor will also continue work on the installation of the sewer line and water on north end of the project.

Structural steel for the Galleria started arriving and deliveries for the new Denny International Middle School will continue into October.
