SDS Architects will design new Bloomer Elementary

SDS Architects of Eau Claire has been hired to design the new Bloomer Elementary School.

School district voters passed the referendum for a new school by a thin margin on the April 3 election, which will cost about $17.5 million to build.

The new elementary will be built near the middle school on Jackson Street, and a portion of the referendum funding will go towards building a roadway for the school as well as a future new high school building.

SDS Architects said in a statement design for the 91,650 square-foot school has already started, with construction slated to begin in mid-October of this year. The new building is expected to open for the 2013-14 school year with a capacity for 600 students.

SDS Architects has already worked with the Bloomer School District before, building the new middle school in 2000 and remodeling the high school in 2001. The firm started working with the district last fall on a facility study for its existing elementary school, at 1715 Oak St.
