Viking Activity Center should be finished soon

Despite some delays, the Viking Activity Center (VAC) is nearing completion. Flooring crews completed the main floor and track area recently, and final work should be wrapping up in the weeks ahead. The CASD custodial staff focused its efforts over the holiday break to clean the area. The district anticipates occupancy sometime in mid-January. The new facility will add an elevated track area, mezzanine space for baseball/softball and golf and additional courts for volleyball, basketball, tennis and pickleball. “When those final pieces come together, it’s really going to be an amazing facility, and we’re excited to unveil it to our community and to our school family,” said Superintendent Justin Gluesing.
