RBS was happy to attend the exciting groundbreaking ceremony at East Heights Elementary for their $23M renovation project. When this facility was built in the 70s, it was constructed as a “pod system” to allow for an open classroom concept. This upcoming renovation will not only modernize the school but also enhance accessibility and overall functionality.

This project will be completed in four phases, which will ensure minimal disruption for the students and staff and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2027.

More specific project details include the following:

• Demolition of the existing pods and construction of a new classroom wing to provide an improved layout for learning spaces and functionality.
• Upgraded doors, hardware, drinking fountains, toilets, and ramps.
• A new HVAC system to improve energy efficiency and climate control.
• An expanded parking area.
• Front office entry modifications to enhance safety and collaboration of staff.

The team at RBS Design Group is honored to partner with East Heights Elementary and the Henderson County School District, and we look forward to seeing this exciting project come to life!
