Lydig Construction begins removing the Auburn High School gymnasium floor from 9 to 11 a.m., Saturday, June 27.

The community is invited to come see the work of the contractor.

Souvenir pieces of the gym floor will be available for purchase to support the Auburn Public Schools Foundation (APSF).

Lydig is donating its time and materials to create the souvenir gym floor pieces. Lydig is the general contractor for the $110 million modernization and reconstruction project for Auburn High School. Phase two of the project will be completed this summer and the entire project will be completed in July 2016.

APSF is a nonprofit group supporting the Auburn School District with a mission to build partnerships with individuals, corporations and foundations so all students have the resources they need to achieve academic excellence.
