WINFIELD, MO – S. M. Wilson & Co. recently completed work for Winfield R-IV School District’s $16 million bond program in Winfield, Missouri. Projects included the construction of a new middle school, new high school locker room and vocational agriculture (VoAg) additions, interior renovations to the existing middle school as well as other district-wide improvements. S. M. Wilson served as the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR). incite Design Studio was the architect.
S. M. Wilson constructed the new 53,000-square-foot middle school adjacent to the existing high school. The existing middle school was transformed into a primary school with renovations adding restrooms, a resource room, teaching spaces and a new computer lab.
A new 5,600-square-foot VoAg building addition as well as a 2,150-square-foot locker room expansion were added to the high school. Additional improvements included district-wide security and accessibility upgrades.
Since work was completed while school was in session, ensuring campus safety, minimizing disruptions to students and staff and limiting impacts to campus operations were primary considerations for S. M. Wilson.
On September 23rd, students, parents, staff, board members and residents from the local community gathered for a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the official grand opening of the new middle school. Funding for these projects comes from a $16 million no-tax-rate-increase bond to modernize learning spaces and improve the safety, security and accessibility of all buildings throughout the district.
