Safety is a top priority at Lyndon Academy. One of the most notable safety features is the new storm shelter. Inside this classroom building sits a fortified safety area designed to protect our future. As seen in the pictures below, the foundation of the shelter is 12 inches deeper than the rest of the school foundation and filled with two grid layers of reinforcing rebar and a total of 16 inches of concrete. The walls are built out of concrete block, which is reinforced with rebar and filled with concrete from the foundation to the ceiling. The ceiling contains 6 inches of poured concrete on top of a layer of steel and is also reinforced with rebar. The doors into this protected area are steel reinforced doors with locking mechanisms for emergency situations.
