Elm Creek Public School

Addition 44,380 square feet

The Board of Education debated building an all-new school or renovating the existing elementary school, which had served the community well for 100 years. Ultimately, the most cost effective solution was a new, two-story elementary school connected to the existing 7-12 building, as well as renovations to the 7-12 facility.

The project included adding a multipurpose room that could be used by all Elm Creek students and is also available for community youth sports practice and other activities. In addition to the physical transformation, the building has received significant mechanical, electrical and special systems upgrades.
