The Holmes Elementary School project revitalizes the historic 1931 facility through a comprehensive renovation and an 8,310-square-foot addition. The expansion introduces a new library, music wing, main entrance, and a two-story classroom addition, creating modern, flexible spaces that support contemporary learning.
Interior upgrades modernize classrooms and building systems, while new roofing and an integrated solar photovoltaic system improve performance and sustainability. Site improvements include expanded parking and access, enhanced stormwater management, and the creation of an outdoor courtyard designed to support learning, play, and community use. Phase 1 was completed in 2025, with Phase 2 scheduled for completion in summer 2026.
