Midvale Middle School was designed and built around geometry, providing students with an impressive environment for learning.

Working under a strict 26-month schedule and within the contractor’s guaranteed maximum price of $145 million, the design-build team on the Duke Ellington School of the Arts completed the project before the 2017-18 school year.

This 193,200-sq-ft high school is a fitting successor, the team says, to a locally cherished, historically significant facility that no longer supported the needs of contemporary education.

The circular 23,500-sq-ft child development center emphasizes sustainability in ways beyond its large windows, intricate landscaping and extensive use of natural interior finishes, the team says.

Built to train the next generation of health care professionals, the 195,000-sq-ft campus includes mock hospital rooms, patient care rooms and labs.

The 130,000-sq-ft high-performance school, commemorating a defender of the Alamo, incorporates flexible, adaptable learning spaces based around community-learning concepts.

Strict quality-control procedures, a high degree of project management and meticulous craftsmanship helped guide the $157-million construction of Klein Cain High School.
