Facing increasing enrollment and the need to transform its facilities to meet 21st century learning needs, the Sauk Prairie School District selected PRA to perform a district-wide facilities study. The study process involved assessing all District facilities and proposing options for their future. The District chose to pursue a $35M referendum, using PRA’s recommendations and identified building deficiencies as driving factors. PRA provided the District with graphics, including colored floor plans of the proposed building options, throughout the pre-referendum process and attended numerous community engagement sessions to answer questions regarding facility needs.

The $35M referendum passed on April 1st, 2014, and PRA provided architectural and interior design services to the District for projects resulting from the referendum. Projects include:

  • A new 101,000 sq. ft., 550-student Bridges Elementary School
  • A 47,525 sq. ft., 250-student, 4K-5th grade addition to Tower Rock Elementary School
  • Modernizing science labs at Middle and High Schools
  • Implementing safety enhancements throughout District
  • Mechanical upgrades to maximize safety and efficiency
  • Updating facilities to meet ADA requirements
