Education Project Round Up
Carver Elementary
Carver Elementary School was originally built in 1958. Wells Concrete is currently working on the addition and renovation for the most recent update of the PK–12 facility.
The current project will replace the academic wing with a three-story wing that will accommodate a larger student population, while placing emphasis on the student/ teaching experience. The new construction area also includes special education rooms, STEM classrooms, music rooms, administration, staff and student toilets, secure entry provisions and the new cafeteria/food services areas. The existing courtyard is to be infilled providing support spaces for the adjacent functions of the building. In addition to creating flexible functional teaching spaces on the interior, the project emphasizes improving the exterior face of the building.
