The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (SCCPSS) recently announced the completion of the new Pulaski K8 School in Savannah, Ga., according to a news release. The district partnered with general contractor Balfour Beatty and architecture firm Goodwyn Mills Cawood to convert an existing K–5 school into a single learning space for elementary- and middle-school students. Officials gathered on August 15 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony near Hunter Army Airfield military base.

“Today was truly incredible as we were able to celebrate a new chapter for our Pulaski Patriots and families,” said Pulaski K8 School Principal Dr. Christina Tucker. “I am honored and blessed to be a part of this journey. Success is not accidental, and we will continue to work diligently to maintain our school's tradition of excellence.”

The project consisted of a 42,700-square-foot addition featuring 19 new academic units to support 350 additional students, the news release reports. Other amenities include administrative offices, a new gymnasium, media center, student clinic, and athletic fields.

“We’re incredibly proud to celebrate the completion of the new Pulaski K8 School and to contribute to the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System,” said Mike Macon, Balfour Beatty Senior Vice President in Georgia. “Investing in our local schools is essential to building a strong community and we’re honored to leave a lasting legacy through this project. By expanding the new learning facility, we’re not only addressing the growing needs of the surrounding area but also supporting the military families stationed at Hunter Army Airfield. We’ve enjoyed a fantastic partnership with Dr. Tucker and her team and industry partners, and we wish the Pulaski students, faculty and staff the best school year ahead.”
