The new state-of-the-art addition at Prairie includes collaborative workspaces for students and staff. In this photo, students are working on the floor and at a table in the main hallway that connects to several classroom spaces via garage doors.
The new additions at Prairie Campus and Station Campus replaced the mobile classrooms on both campuses. These new additions feature future-ready and flexible learning environments and include classroom spaces, small and medium group rooms, and shared collaboration zones. The design emphasizes flexibility, allowing classrooms to adapt to various teaching and learning styles and giving large teams the ability to collaborate harmoniously within these educational spaces.

Approximately $13.2 million out of the $147 million referendum was spent at Prairie Middle School, which included all construction costs and non-construction items such as safety and security, furniture, and technology. Beyond general repairs and maintenance, as well as safety and security upgrades, the major project at Prairie was the construction of a new classroom addition, which replaced the former mobile classrooms. Construction at Prairie began in Summer 2021 and was completed on time and within budget for the start of the 2022-23 school year.
