A One-of-a-Kind Elementary School

Phoenix, AZ — On time, on budget and no change orders are terms every construction company love to tout. Those terms are the only way to describe the first-ever design-build elementary school funded by Student's FIRST and approved by the state of Arizona's School Facilities Board.

According to Dr. Philip Geiger, executive director of the School Facilities Board, "Too often people confuse modular construction with portable classrooms. Modular is a far cry from portables! When entering a modular school, you cannot tell the difference between it and customary building practices and the school will last just as long. For many districts, modular provides the ability to meet the demands of an accelerated schedule and a predictable product. Modular construction for schools is certainly here to stay and for the Isaac School District, it served the community’s needs well. For the School Facilities Board, it also met the financial constraints under which we are operating."

Debbie Hutson, principal of Lela Alston Elementary School, has received positive feedback from throughout the community. "This school is a shining star in our community...a true asset. Most of our district's schools are very old and overcrowded; when visitors, school officials and teachers visit they are in awe over how beautiful the campus is and how peaceful the atmosphere. The kids especially have great pride in the school and have even formed committees so that they have an active role in taking care of their home away from home."
