This is what SKILLED is all about — transforming a school construction project into an educational opportunity!
We see the students’ faces light up and brains activate as they witness the real-time development of the new buildings where they will soon spend their days learning.
Plus, it is a great opportunity to inspire the future of construction by opening their eyes to the career paths in the AEC trades.
Thank you, Jefferson City School District, for partnering with us to give students this rare opportunity!
Two Jefferson City middle schools toured parts of their campus that was under construction.
The Jefferson City School District announced that Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Lewis and Clark Middle School toured their campus construction.
S.M Wilson project managers showed students the new classrooms, media centers and libraries, while also giving them an insight look into construction fields.
Six additional classrooms were being constructed in the former media center / library for both schools, eliminating the need for trailers.
Construction crews were also building additions to the schools to that would house the new media center / library.
Jefferson City School District stated this was the first time both schools had been renovated since they were built in 1993.
Middle school construction was expected to be completed in time for the 2026 – 2027 school year.
