List Elementary Classrooms List Elementary School is the focus of the most noticeable improvements at this point. On the west side of the building (north of the main entrance), an expansion has begun that will include three new classrooms and a relocated staff lounge. The expansion will also include an open-air atrium, which will be paved and enclosed by four walls. Not only will this expansion provide much-needed additional space, but it will also create a consolidated area in the building for the location of our preschool and Eagle Express programs. A new double-entry secured access door and separate reception space for this area will make pick-up and drop-off much easier for preschool and Eagle Express children and caregivers, and it is expected that the atrium space will be utilized for safe and contained outdoor play for our littlest learners. New Baseball/Softball Batting Cages and Seating 2021 and 2022 will continue to be busy years with more exciting projects planned. The next construction work to occur will begin this spring before baseball season begins. The varsity baseball and softball facilities have already received new batting cages, and work has also begun on new stadium seating for both fields. As weather permits, the batting cages will be finished by installing new artificial turf surfaces, new netting, and the new stadium seats.When complete, each field will have two to three rows of elevated concrete stadium seating with adjacent concrete pads for spectators who wish to bring their own seating. FRANKENMUTH SCHOOL DISTRICT CONSTRUCTION PROJECT UPDATE Several significant construction projects are currently underway in the Frankenmuth School District, and future construction projects are being planned, courtesy of the bond and sinking fund millage proposals supported by District voters in 2019. This article provides details and anticipated timing on the completion of both current and future projects. C U R R E N T P R O J E C T S F U T U R E P R O J E C T S The current construction projects at List Elementary School are expected to be completed by the start of the 2021-2022 school year this fall. List Elementary Cafeteria and Media Center Another big project in the works at List Elementary School is happening on the south side of the building (near Kid's Kingdom) and involves the construction of a new cafeteria, kitchen, storage space and bathrooms. The design of the new cafeteria and kitchen is much more functional than the existing design, and will allow students to more quickly navigate lunch lines and get to their seats. Once the new cafeteria addition is completed, the existing media center and cafeteria will be undergoing major renovations. The existing media center will be divided by a new extension of the main entrance hallway. The north half of the media center will then be converted into two new computer labs and the south half will be converted into smaller meeting rooms for early intervention support for students. The existing cafeteria will be renovated to become a new media center, with creative and unique spaces for students to learn and explore both individually and collaboratively.
