GROTH Design Group partnered with St. Francis School District to spearhead a district-wide facility assessment process to achieve a subsequently approved referendum for improvements to the district’s St. Francis High School, Deer Creek Intermediate School, and Willow Glen Primary School. The firm assisted with existing facility studies and created 40 different options which were vetted and studied based on associated tax-impact and feasibility.
Options were then presented to the district and community to build consensus and buy-in, prior to going to a successful $30.6M referendum.
