The Litchville-Marion School District in Marion, N.D., recently began a $12.6-million remodeling and addition project in partnership with construction firm Kraus-Anderson, according to a news release. The project will combine an outdated high school and elementary school into a single PreK–12 facility. Funding comes from a recently passed bond referendum.

The work entails the new construction of a 37,000-square-foot space and remodeling 17,300 square feet of the existing high school. The new addition will feature new classrooms, a multipurpose room and locker rooms, common areas, a kitchen, and a daycare facility. The district partnered with Ciavarella Design Architects for the project’s design.

Work crews will begin with the new addition while high-school students use the existing classrooms for the 2023–24 school year. Renovations to existing buildings will occur at the end of next school year, and construction has a scheduled completion of August 2024. The existing Marion school, originally built in 1925, will be demolished after the project’s completion, the news release reports.

  • How One School Reimagined Learning Spaces—and What Others Can Learn

    When Collegedale Academy, a PreK–8 school outside Chattanooga, Tenn., needed a new elementary building, we faced the choice that many school leaders eventually confront: repair an aging facility or reimagine what learning spaces could be. Our historic elementary school held decades of memories for families, including some who had once walked its halls as children themselves. But years of wear and the need for costly repairs made it clear that investing in the old building would only patch the problems rather than solve them.
