In the midst of construction, two time capsules were recently unearthed at the Campbellsville Elementary School campus.

The first is marked as being buried by the Class of 1962, which attended school at the CES building when it was Durham School.



The second time capsule was buried on September 16, 1987, when the CES building was Campbellsville Middle School.

Construction at CES is set to be complete in February.

Plans are in the works to have a grand opening and ribbon cutting celebration at CES that month, with all former students who attended class at the school invited.

It is also being planned for the time capsules to be opened during the celebration.

More information about the event will be announced as it is finalized. Until then, the time capsules will be kept intact at the CES campus.

Renovations planned at CES include the addition of four new classrooms, a new HVAC unit, a fire suppression system, interior finishes, new kitchen and cafeteria, new restrooms, renovation of existing classrooms, a new playground for preschool students and work to administrative suites, parking areas and the front facade.

Ground was broken for the project in a special ceremony in March, and contractors began working on the construction full time after the 2015-2016 school year ended.

Once renovations are complete at CES, and then later at CMS, all fourth- and fifth-grade students will be housed at CES, making it a more traditional elementary school, and the CMS building will better suit the needs of a middle school.

The CES project will cost about $9.7 million.

N3D Group is the architect for the project, and Codell Construction is construction manager.
