“The multidisciplinary team coordinated closely with school officials to ensure safety and minimize disruption to daily operations, adjusting delivery schedules and site access to accommodate students and faculty,” said Senior Project Manager Brian Cline with T&T Construction Management Group. “This careful planning allowed the project to move forward efficiently without compromising the school’s ongoing activities.”

According to the news release, T&T poured about 1,900 total cubic yards of ready-mix concrete and installed 54 tons of rebar to complete the project.

“The Pasco High School expansion will provide both immediate and lasting benefits to the community, offering students modernized spaces for learning, career training, and dining while enhancing the school’s capacity to serve future generations,” said T&T Construction Management Group CEO Rebecca Thomas. “This project reflects T&T’s commitment to building with precision, safety, and community in mind, and as we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year with the theme of ‘Building a Resilient Legacy,’ this project underscores our work ethic that has been developed and refined over three decades in the industry.”
