Arlington New PK-12 School
This new PK-12 school is the result of a 16-year community engagement and master planning process, led by Fanning Howey
The previous school was built in 1923 and was added onto 5 times over the years. But enough was enough, and in 2022 a successful bond issue was passed. The Ohio Facilities Construction Commission is funding 41% of the project, and additional local funds were raised to create a separate, free-standing Vocational Agriculture building, a hybrid auditorium / cafeteria with retractable seats, and a larger gymnasium. The 97,465 SF facility will serve 576 students and will be LEED v4.0 Silver certified through the U.S. Green Building Council.
