Reed Custer Community Unit School District 255 New K-5 School
School administration unanimously selects Gilbane to construct their new elementary school
Reed Custer Community Unit School District 255 outgrew their existing elementary school and needed to upgrade facilities for the growing district. Through a selection process, the administration and school board unanimously selected Gilbane as construction manager for the project.
Project Overview
- New 107,000-SF elementary school serves students in grades pre-K through fifth
- Features 30-classrooms, two gymnasiums, full kitchen and cafeteria, a learning resource center, and dedicated spaces for music and art
- Constructed right next door to the current, fully-operating building, meticulous safety and site logistics planning was required early in the process
- The building also includes spaces designed as storm shelters for emergency preparedness
“We are thankful that we selected Gilbane to be the construction manager for Reed Custer Elementary School. I value the relationships that I built with all Gilbane staff…We would not hesitate to hire Gilbane again in the future.”
