Westside Middle School

The middle school renovation included significant upgrades to enhance infrastructure and safety. Improvements involved new campus lighting, a modern intercom system, and bathroom upgrades with redesigned entrances for better convenience and security. The administrative building received a new fire protection system, nurse clinic, and secure vestibule. Building 5 was built out for the Pride facility, and the first floor of Building 8 was expanded for additional administrative space. The media center and cafeteria were renovated, with the cafeteria receiving new lighting and HVAC systems. Security enhancements included new fencing, security window film, and efficient site lighting.

This project, the first to utilize the half-cent sales tax, marked a milestone in community investment in education. Success was due to the collaborative efforts of the Owner, Design team, and Stellar, who coordinated construction activities around an active campus to ensure student and faculty safety. Special attention was given to scheduling around school testing and extracurricular activities to minimize disruptions. This project exemplifies the power of teamwork and community investment in creating a safer, more modern educational environment.
