Phase 2 began with the demolition of the vacated kindergarten and first-grade wing for infill construction. Phase 2 added new first through third grade classrooms (a total of nine new classrooms), a large atrium “town square” area, renovations to the existing kitchen and server, and construction of a new 220-seat dining hall with vaulted ceilings.
