Grenada Upper Elementary School

In the heart of Grenada, Mississippi, a major milestone was reached in 2024 with the completion of the

Grenada Upper Elementary School expansion. The project took twelve months to complete and was

completed on time. This expansion was done in order to provide more space, better technology, and

safety to all students. The expansion included the addition of 16,800 square feet of new classroom,

office, storage, hall and restroom space. The project, with a total cost of $4,660,000.00, was carefully

planned to serve both students and teachers alike. Inside the new wing, each classroom was outfitted

with Smartboards, new cabinetry, flooring, and the latest educational technology. One of the most

celebrated aspects of the expansion was the creation of dedicated areas for Special Needs instruction.

This area used specific paint colors and floor tile colors to direct the children where they needed to go.

The building was built with structural steel framing and painted block walls on the interior. The exterior

had brick facing, and split faced block to blend with the existing facility. Behind the walls, the

expansion also introduced new mechanical, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure, ensuring the facility

operates efficiently and sustainably. These upgrades support not only the new classrooms but also the

rest of the entire campus. New Parking and Bus Routing was installed outside to better ensure the safety

and transportation for all the students.



Safety Information: Zero incidents or injuries occurred over the course of the project, thanks to a

safety plan strictly enforced by the on-site team. This resulted in no lost time on the project

Project Summary: This project was executed efficiently, with minimal deviations from the original

plan. The final result provided children of Grenada with a high-quality facility that supports its

operations, while also being profitable to the contractor. The successful delivery of this project stands as
