Prairie View Middle School

The Prairie View Middle School project is a state-of-the-art educational facility designed to cater to the diverse learning needs of middle school students. The school features modern, flexible learning spaces that foster creativity, collaboration, and independent learning.

The school’s infrastructure includes a combination gymnasium/storm shelter, providing a safe and multipurpose space for physical education and emergency situations. The facility also houses dedicated spaces for industrial arts, special education, science labs, music and choir rooms, further enriching the students’ learning experience.

A unique feature of Prairie View Middle School is its commitment to preparing students for their journey towards becoming independent, productive citizens. This is reflected in the inclusion of spaces dedicated to Family and Consumer Science (FACS) and special education programs.

During construction, the project faced challenges due to supply chain issues caused by the pandemic. Essential components like the switchgear, necessary for establishing permanent power, and panels for efficient power dispersion within the school, encountered procurement issues.

Despite these hurdles, the project team implemented effective workarounds to maintain progress. This included exploring alternative suppliers and implementing temporary solutions. Through close monitoring of the situation and active collaboration with stakeholders, the team ensured that Prairie View Middle School was equipped with the necessary power infrastructure on time.

This project stands as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the team in the face of adversity, ultimately resulting in a facility that promises to provide a comprehensive and modern educational experience for its students.
