The transformation of Akron Elementary created a school that feels both new and enduring—one designed to inspire learning and support the community well into the future. The project replaced major portions of the original building with a new gymnasium, cafeteria, and upgraded mechanical systems, while also breathing new life into the existing classroom wing through a complete renovation. To meet the needs of a growing student body, a twelve-classroom addition was seamlessly integrated into the overall design.

With construction taking place over two years, the school remained fully operational throughout. Careful planning and phased work ensured that students could continue learning in a safe environment, even as the building was being reshaped around them.

The completed school is bright, adaptable, and built to last. More than just new spaces, it provides Akron’s students and teachers with an environment that supports collaboration, creativity, and success for decades to come.
