Prairie Hills USD 113 school Remodelings

Civium Architects worked with Prairie Hills USD 113 and AHRS Construction at three of the District’s schools: Axtell School, Wetmore Academic Center, and Sabetha Elementary School. We implemented life safety improvements and modernizations at both the Axtell and Wetmore locations.

Sabetha Elementary School underwent a significant renovation and addition including:

• building addition including a new gymnasium, library, music room, and commons area,

• the library and music room serve as a severe weather shelter,

• additional classrooms were created through reorganization of building,

• Administrative Office was relocated to provide monitored, secure entry,

• a new entry canopy to better define main entrance and provide weather protection for waiting students,

• replace glass block with new aluminum glazing system to improve aesthetics, energy efficiency, and natural daylighting,

• re-roof portions of the building that have not previously been completed,

• HVAC improvements to replace boiler and window unit air conditioners,

• lane reconfiguration and additional parking to alleviate drop-off and pick-up congestion, and

• the playground was relocated to a more secure area of the school grounds.
