Lemonwood School Reconstruction

The Lemonwood Reconstruction project began construction in May 2016. Substantial completion of the first phase — the two-story classroom building and multipurpose room — was set for December 2017, with overall construction scheduled for completion in summer 2018.

The reconstructed Lemonwood School accommodates 900 students by State standards in grades K–8, including 28 general purpose classrooms, 4 kindergarten classrooms, 3 science/flex lab classrooms, and 2 special education classrooms. Specified support facilities, administration areas, a media center, food service, a multipurpose room, physical education spaces, and restrooms were also provided.

The reconstruction also retained and repurposed Building 3 of the original campus. Six modernized classrooms provide “Flex Rooms” for enhanced kindergarten, transitional kindergarten, or preschool programs as needed by the District. The construction plans for this phase were approved by the Division of the State Architect (DSA) in January 2017, with the work planned to follow completion of the main Lemonwood Reconstruction project.

SVA Architects designed the project, and Swinerton Builders was selected to provide construction services.
