Project Case Study
Olathe West High School & CTE
The cornerstone of this bond was the new 375,00 square-foot Olathe West High School, designed with flexible classrooms, career education spaces, a performing arts theater, a gym fitted with a storm shelter, and a collaborative learning staircase. The high school also features six practice fields and a competition field with synthetic turf and track and field facilities.
Middle School Entryway
Oregon Trail Middle School’s entryway also was expanded with a 14,500 square-foot renovation, including a redesigned administrative area, classroom updates, and an expanded main entrance. The space was finished with coordinated graphics, creating a welcoming entry for students, staff, and visitors. Completing the project over the summer months, the team worked around existing summer activities to ensure the project was completed well in time for their upcoming school year.
In addition to these major efforts, McCownGordon supported Olathe Public Schools in revitalizing nineteen other schools. This work included replacing carpets, ceiling grids and tiles, doors, windows, lighting, and window blinds, and renovating restrooms. Timing of work varied which helped coordination run smoothly with the team on-site. Our team took a proactive approach to scheduling and assured that items were procured ahead of time, while ensuring that each project was fully staffed and completed on time.
McCownGordon’s successful collaboration with Olathe Public Schools was further solidified when the team was selected to lead their next bond program in 2016.
