Solution: Expand the high school site to build the elementary and middle schools on one campus

Result: A consolidated campus that provides updated/new learning environments for all grade levels with annual operational savings for the district

Client Type

Facility Planning & Referendum Support

We partnered with Melrose-Mindoro Area School District on a comprehensive facilities assessment evaluating needs at its three school campuses. The study identified safety and security, staff efficiency, busing, grade configuration, and aging infrastructure as the most pressing needs.

With careful assessment and clear direction from community survey results, the school board unanimously voted to place a $24.7 million referendum question on the ballot to create a consolidated campus at the existing high school site. The question was soundly approved by the community.
