The renovations include relocating the library to the second floor to allow for more natural light and space for students, a new music room, updated restrooms, and new classrooms where the existing library and cafeteria are located. The addition, located at the rear of the building, will incorporate a cafetorium, small group learning spaces, and new STEAM classrooms with a folding partition to promote a flexible and collaborative environment.
