Middle Schools
Belzer Middle School
Fanning Howey reimagined the entire facility with refreshed interior finishes, revitalized classrooms and science labs, and renewed shared spaces, including the cafeteria, serving areas, performing arts spaces, and courtyard, to enhance both learning and community life. A new multi-purpose gathering hall anchors the transformation, providing a flexible venue for community events and student performances. Designed with acoustic enhancements, a modern proscenium, and integrated performance lighting, the space elevates both everyday use and special occasions.
Together, these strategic improvements create a cohesive, functional, and future-ready campus that supports learning, collaboration, and community pride.
