PROJECT GOALS

Enhancing learning spaces in Central City

The goal was to expand and renovate the existing facilities to accommodate growing educational needs and improve the overall functionality and aesthetics of Central City High School.

cmba-k12-central-city-hs-8

Central City Public Schools came to us in need of an expansion. They were ready to grow their educational programming and desired renovations throughout their existing facility that would make better use of the current space. With these goals in mind, we provided facility planning and bond referendum support. With our help, the district successfully passed a $7,900,000 bond in March 2019. We then added a FEMA-rated monolithic dome (storm shelter) and gymnasium in 2023.
