The 75,000-square-foot school cost $54.5 million, and it will serve 600 students in grades K–5, according to a news release. The district partnered with C.W. Driver Companies for the building’s construction.

The campus features 23 classrooms, an administration building, a kindergarten building, food service kitchen, a library, and a multipurpose room, with the buildings arranged in a horseshoe across 10.3 acres, the news release reports. The multipurpose room includes a high-tech AV system, children’s playgrounds, and play and track fields.
