The Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) is making strides with its $350 million capital construction bond, approved by voters in 2022. This massive initiative is set to revamp aging buildings, including New Vista High School, and new construction like a much-needed elementary school in Erie. Personal reflection: As someone deeply invested in community growth and infrastructure, I find BVSD's holistic approach commendable. When I hear about asbestos removal and expanded Career and Technical Education (CTE) facilities, it resonates with the importance of providing safe and modern learning environments. Key highlights include: - $42 million in summer projects across 12 schools. - Enhancements in engineering and woodshop spaces at Centaurus High School. - New ADA-compliant playground surfaces at multiple elementary schools. - Modernized tech and art rooms, along with a centralized CTE information hub at Broomfield Heights Middle School. Questions for you: 1. How do you think infrastructure improvements impact student performance and community engagement? 2. What are some ways your community is investing in educational facilities? Investing in our schools means investing in our future. Let's support these initiatives and share ideas to foster an even brighter future for our students. #Education #CommunityDevelopment #SchoolInfrastructure #BoulderValley #BVSD #TechnicalEducation

Because accessibility and safety should never be an afterthought, especially in an educational environment.

The ISD in Celina, TX, is preparing for the future — on a foundation secured by VoidForm. In just one year, from 2022 to 2023, the population of this formerly sleepy Texas town has grown by a staggering 26.6 percent. This has meant Celina's ISD has had to deploy a rapid expansion plan to ensure enough schools to accommodate its predicted 10,000+ student population by 2028 — 130 percent more students than they have today. VoidForm has partnered with Miller Sierra Contractors, Inc. to install nearly 60,000 sq ft of void systems below the slab of one of Celina's brand new Elementary Schools (No. 5), which is set to open in the fall of 2025. With VoidForm now installed under the slab, the community has mitigated the risk of structural damage for the school's functional lifespan. #Construction #engineering #structuralengineering

From an overcrowded challenge to a sustainable, forward-thinking solution, the transformation of Parkway School District’s McKelvey Primary Center (Parkway Schools) makes for an inspiring case study of collaboration for high performance design. Functional multi-purpose spaces were a priority for the District and our detailed evaluation of existing facilities and programmatic requirements helped them apply this vision. Four additional classrooms and three additional special education classrooms were added to the original project, including a future-proof design to accommodate expansion. In our shared mission to improve academic performance, we agreed on measures to improve comfort for end users of the building like students, faculty and staff, alongside conserving energy and reducing life-cycle costs. We also made sure that project met the Advanced Energy Design Guide for K-12 School Buildings whenever possible on the existing building and as a minimum requirement on all new additions. #fgma #pk12 #elementaryschools #ParkwayProud #StLArchitecture #StLSchools #WeBuildCommunity

From the Classroom to Construction: Understanding the Heart of School Bond Programs Behind every successful school bond program is a story—not just of new buildings but of the teachers, students, and communities they serve. As former teachers, facility directors, contractors, and “school people,” we know what it feels like to be part of a school community and the hopes tied to every bond dollar. Our team of world-class designers, engineers, and experienced educators is more than just a group of experts—we’re partners who uniquely understand the emotional and practical needs of school district stakeholders. We know what it’s like to dream of better classrooms, safer spaces, and the resources our students deserve. This video captures the teacher’s perspective: ✨ The joy of walking into a newly renovated classroom. 📚 The pride of knowing students have state-of-the-art facilities. 🤝 The trust that comes from a bond program that delivers on its promises. We’re here to bring those dreams to life while keeping every promise we make. It’s not just about construction—it’s about building better futures for our communities.

A #modular education complex is the budget-friendly alternative to traditional construction. If your campus needs to add a couple of classrooms to your existing space, modular classrooms are ideal since they are single units. Learn More>>>> https://lnkd.in/gv62vD5u
