Grand Opening: Tar Heel PK-8 School! Last week, we were honored to attend the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting celebration at Bladen County’s newest and most innovative school: Tar Heel PK-8. The close-knit ties of the Tar Heel community were felt throughout, with over 100 people gathering to celebrate on Friday morning. Tar Heel PK-8 School is the first of its kind – in the world – to feature a two-way solar powering system. The new school is equipped with over 1,600 solar panels and five electric buses, which were awarded to Bladen. The buses are charged by the solar panels on the school! After dropping off the students at the beginning of a school day, the electric buses will plug into the school’s charging stations. The leftover power from the buses will help the school building during peak morning power demands. Throughout the day, the solar panels will charge the buses, so that they are ready to bring students home at dismissal. Our team’s Project Manager, Alex Herndon, and Field Superintendent, Ben Brisson, have been instrumental in providing guidance, forethought, and coordination throughout the process. Their leadership has ensured that the project was delivered with the highest standard of quality. Bordeaux Construction is proud to have helped make this dream a reality, and we look forward to standing alongside the Tar Heel community as we watch how their new school impacts generations to come. Congratulations, all!
