About this Project
A 66,000 SF expansion and modernization at Kopachuck Middle School created new space for classrooms and administration offices. A new Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) roof was installed at the administrative wing, creating warmth and identity at the entrance of the building. The modernization also included structural upgrades and improvements to kitchen, science, and CTE space as well as daylighting and exiting enhancements.
