Rudick Construction Group delivered a 52,400 SF, single-story facility built to serve grades 7–12, reaching Substantial Completion 55 days ahead of schedule despite 47 weather-delay days along the way. The building integrates an administration corridor, sixteen classrooms, vocational training rooms, a science lab, an indoor/outdoor art area, and a band room to support a well-rounded academic experience, while the commons/dining room, full-service kitchen, basketball gym with arena-style lighting, athletic multi-purpose room, and weight and locker rooms anchor community life and athletics. Beyond the building envelope, the project required extensive sitework, including a sewage lift station, deceleration lane, drive lanes, bus loop, detention pond, pavement systems, equestrian-style fencing surrounding a dedicated football practice field, and cohesive hardscape/softscape design tying the campus together. Through careful planning and disciplined field execution, the team also generated more than $900,000 in cost savings, resources redirected toward the school and its students. From academics to athletics to civil infrastructure, every element of JS Clark Leadership Academy was designed and constructed to inspire growth, opportunity, and success for the students who walk through its doors for years to come.
