Notes on verification
Multiple independent sources consistently confirm the 1962 completion date, with one source providing the specific date of April 20, 1962. The sources include historical databases, mapping sites, and encyclopedic references that corroborate both the completion year and the school's unique underground/fallout shelter design.
