FACILITY CHALLENGES
Over the last year, the USD 303 Board of Education and the Community Committee have worked with Landmark Architects and Wiens & Company Construction to evaluate our current buildings and analyze how well these buildings meet the needs of the students and faculty. Through this process, they identified the following facility needs:
Secure entrances to the Pre-School, Grade School, and High School buildings
Storm shelters that are built to FEMA standards
There is no current shelter at the Pre-School.
The Grade School and High School utilize restrooms/locker rooms that are not reinforced or ADA accessible.
A comfortable and functional learning environment for the students and staff
Classroom lighting is poor, and HVAC systems struggle to properly heat the buildings. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC updates are needed in both the Grade School and High School.
ADA accessibility throughout all school facilities
Current facilities do not fully accommodate individuals with mobility issues.
