From 2018 to 2023, the district embarked on a series of renovations aimed at enhancing learning environments at North Technical High School. These projects ranged from upgrading security and administrative areas to creating new, state-of-the-art spaces for their cosmetology and dental sciences programs, as well as modernizing the welding lab. The renovations were designed to cater to the unique needs of students and staff, creating inspiring spaces that foster education and community engagement.
- Work-ready Programming
- Enhanced Security
- Updated Admin Area
- State-of-the-art Dental Suite
- Upgraded Cosmetology Program
The existing space for the cosmetology program was outdated, and there was a pressing need to expand to accommodate long waiting lists. The solution involved renovating the existing space, and converting the basement, with its low ceilings, into a contemporary salon, by leaving structural elements exposed and adding linear lighting attached to the underside of bar joists. This not only brightened the space but also gave it a modern, industrial feel that enhanced the room's atmosphere and functionality.
In addition, new dental suites were designed to have a polished, professional office-like appearance, transforming old shop spaces into modern, functional educational areas.

After completing a community engagement process and passing a referendum, this district’s iconic, historic building received much needed upgrades. This high-achieving district now features facilities that are up to par with their high-quality academic, fine arts and athletic performance standards.
The project at New Berlin's Junior/Senior High School provides modern facilities for all grade levels in the district to learn and grow. The additions and renovations aim to reorganize and enhance core educational spaces, creating a clear sense of place for both junior high and senior high school students. While different grade levels have age-appropriate spaces, shared areas are centrally located for easy access.
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 Outdated intermediate and underutilized high school spaces are being updated by a single, purpose-built facility—bringing everyone together under one roof for a safer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.
