The new Herscher Intermediate School is set to transform daily life for students, families, and the entire community. Outdated intermediate and underutilized high school spaces are being updated by a single, purpose-built facility—bringing everyone together under one roof for a safer and more connected experience.
At the heart of the design is a bright central commons, inviting students and visitors to gather and engage. Grade-level classroom pods form smaller communities within the building, each offering flexible spaces for collaboration, intervention, and special education. Learning areas will be filled with natural light, and adaptable layouts support evolving educational needs.
Separate bus and car loops are designed to streamline arrivals and departures, directing all students through a secure, main entrance. Outdoor play areas, easy to access from classrooms, will provide dedicated zones for each grade.
A competition-ready gymnasium doubles as a storm shelter, while energy-efficient systems and thoughtful site planning ensure the school serves Herscher for generations. Anticipated completion in Fall 2027!

The new Knoxville K-8 campus is more than a building replacement project—it's the creation of a unified educational environment that reflects the pride and identity of the Knoxville community. Guided by the district theme of "We Are Knoxville", the design thoughtfully combines a repurposed existing facility with new construction, creating one cohesive and compelling campus experience.
Following a successful year-long master planning process, designed to address concerns of aging infrastructure and facility inequities, Lanphier High School was identified as a top priority for revitalization among the district's three high schools.
