Project description:

This addition at Immaculate Conception, a Catholic school with 613 students, comprises four new classrooms and a fine arts room for band and music. The students will begin using the new space when they return from Christmas break, said Paula Baird, principal. DeWitt and Associates will begin another phase of construction renovation of four classrooms into library and computer space in January. That project, funded by the parish, should conclude in May, Baird said. The school teaches students preschool through eighth grade.
