Description: A downtown Springfield building completed in 1930 is being renovated into a boutique hotel. Design officials say the structure features ornamental stonework on the exterior, and the interior has remaining travertine tiled walls and limestone flooring. The plan includes a rooftop terrace for dining and a basement bar and event space known as Subterranean. Part of the Marriott International Inc. brand, the hotel will have 94 rooms across the eight-story building, according to past reporting.
A safe room and classroom addition at Willard Central Elementary School will be used by the music, arts and athletic programs for a district that had 4,536 students last year, according to Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education figures, but school officials say enrollment is projected to grow.
