Palmetto Middle School is a 161,900 SF replacement facility built on the existing campus. Phase I included a two-story facility for 6th and 7th grades with classrooms, collaborative spaces, science labs, guidance counselors’ offices, and administrative offices for each grade level. The new addition also included a new media center, cafetorium, and kitchen to support the transition for the remaining phases. Phase I was completed in July 2020.
Phase II included construction of a gymnasium with a theatrical performance stage and lighting, music and art rooms, Gateway to Technology classroom, and elective classrooms. This phase also included a new classroom addition to connect the Phase I classroom additions and the existing 8th grade classroom wing. In the existing 8th grade wing, renovations included updated classrooms, collaboration space, guidance counselor office, and administrative suite.
Phase III consisted of sitework modifications, including adding a parking lot, a new bus loop, and a football practice field.
“Harper’s team has worked hard to be transparent and honest. We have gained a great appreciation for the quality, expertise, and effectiveness that Harper delivers to the construction industry. Without fail, they continuously provided us with timely data, pricing, and options that allowed us to stay on time and within budget. We always feel part of the same team with the same priorities throughout the project.”
“Harper’s pre-construction team was very engaged in the project from the beginning and offered suggestions to reduce costs without cutting quality. The project was completed on time and within budget which is amazing since it was built during a pandemic.”
