Little Falls City School District
Capital Project Update
Capital Project News
Little Falls City School District has been closed since March 13th, 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. That hasn't halted construction though. The Little Falls City School District is now ahead of schedule with the developing capital project. The $29.9 million project, approved via referendum two years ago, calls for major changes to the middle/high school building as well as Benton Hall Academy.
What's new and changing?
The project on the middle/high school building includes an addition that will allow for a STEAM Education shop, art labs, digital art and pottery studios and a business area. Meanwhile, work at Benton Hall includes the construction of a two-story addition in the courtyard as well as window replacements, a renovated main office and cafeteria improvements. The Little Falls City School District started work in March, around the same time the coronavirus started to spread into upstate. School officials were planning on how to rearrange classrooms so work could continue while students were in the building before the pandemic closed the school buildings. Even though crews are ahead of schedule, the district is not planning any construction at this point on Phase Two, which is scheduled to start at the end of the next school year.
