The Mitchell K-8 School project encompassed a significant renovation and addition, delivering an updated facility that balances historic preservation with contemporary educational needs and a modernized aesthetic.
A new gymnasium was constructed, incorporating dedicated areas for fitness and music, while the original stage—featuring a decorative plaster proscenium—was carefully restored to preserve its historic character. Decorative plaster renovations were also completed in adjoining hallways, ensuring this architectural feature continues to serve as a focal point of the school.
Along with school-wide renovations, including specialized classrooms such as a chemistry lab and a culinary arts space, the project also included the construction of an off-street bus drop-off loop to enhance student safety. Additionally, a comprehensive set of accessibility upgrades to promote an inclusive learning environment was completed.
