Construction
Because learning and teaching are the foundation of our organizational plan, our Facilities Master Plan provided a blueprint for rebuilding and remodeling all five elementary schools with state-of-the-art learning environments. These efforts modernized our schools with enhanced technology, improved efficiency, and more comfortable and safe learning environments.
Current Projects
New Ames High School
On April 3, 2018, the Ames community voted to approve a $110 million bond referendum for the construction of a new high school. The new pool was funded separately through a variety of state and local sources including the Secured an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE) and Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) funds that are dedicated to school infrastructure. The new high school is on the same site as the current high school. It is located further to the east from the former building and along Ridgewood Avenue.
OPN Architects is leading the design of the new high school and Story Construction was awarded the construction management contract for this project by the Ames School Board.
