A comprehensive campus modernization

Elbert Elementary

The Elbert Elementary School project aimed to increase student capacity from 625 to 1000 through a comprehensive modernization and replacement of buildings that were over 35 years old. This initiative aligned the campus with contemporary educational standards based on the prototype educational specifications.

A modern playground with red slides, climbing structures, and ladders sits on a rubber mulch surface, surrounded by yellow buildings under a blue sky with scattered clouds.
