Features:
  • Band/choir, art, and primary gym addition
  • 3rd & 4th grade addition
  • New secure entry sequence
  • ​Age appropriate learning spaces for all students
  • Expanded learning spaces to add art, foreign language, and S.T.E.M. classes to the curriculum
The district spent four years working with the community and staff to plan for an expansion and renovation with the goal of meeting the needs of growing enrollment and providing future-focused learning opportunities to students.

The expansion and renovation allowed for advancement in the District’s science, technology, engineering, math, art and foreign language programs. Construction was phased so that students could continue to utilize the space during construction.

​The project created a connection of two existing buildings via two newly constructed additions. Both CPS and CIS benefit from expanded and updated student media commons and expanded dining commons capacities. Renovations throughout the schools created additional future-focused learning spaces, providing age appropriate learning environments for all students.
The renovation has given the school space to add art, foreign language, and S.T.E.M. classes to the curriculum. Students didn’t have access to these subjects before the new additions. We were using every closet, every space in our district to educate our kids. Now we truly have the spaces we need.

- Dan Heidbreder, Superintendent​, Central School District #51
