BURLINGTON, WIS. — General contractor and construction management firm Scherrer Construction Co., Inc., in partnership with Plunkett Raysich Architects LLP, recently completed the construction of the new Karcher Middle School in Burlington, Wis.
The $35 million project is located in the Burlington Area School District and is part of the district’s strategic plan for district-wide updates to its facilities.
The 145,000-square-foot school will serve more than 700 students and has improved security and safety features; several core curriculum classrooms for all grade levels (six through eight); spaces for special education and elective programming including STEM education, art, band, orchestra and choir; a new gymnasium, fitness room, locker rooms; and enhanced common areas including a library with flexible learning spaces, cafeteria and staff offices.
The original Karcher Middle School was built in 1924 and was nearly 100 years old, states a release, adding the building was past its useful life and no longer served the needs of today’s 21st century learning environment.
