Design & Construction

Since the successful referendum in April, MTSD and our partners at Eppstein Uhen Architects (EUA) and Hunzinger Construction Company have been hard at work developing the architectural designs and monitoring the estimated costs as the plans are refined. We celebrated groundbreaking and the start of construction at our elementary and middle schools in early April 2021, with construction expected to start at Homestead during the summer of 2021.

Project Summaries

Elementary Schools

Enrollment is growing at our elementary schools. In order to accommodate more students, additions are planned at Donges Bay, Oriole Lane, and Wilson Elementary Schools to add classroom, gymnasium, and cafeteria space. Other projects include updating restrooms to increase accessibility and general functionality, safety enhancements including improving car and bus traffic flow, and improvements to better control visitor access to the buildings during and after school hours.

Middle Schools

Improvements at Lake Shore and Steffen Middle Schools include expansions to the cafeterias and renovations to specialty classrooms including music and specialist/support areas to enhance the educational experience of our students. Improved traffic circulation and connection to municipal water will make our school buildings and grounds safer for our students, staff, and visitors while protecting the community’s investment.
