Yesterday afternoon, we celebrated the groundbreaking for the Sugnet Building addition and renovation. This addition is the first phase of the $17 million facility bond project that was approved in August of 2022. We are so thankful to our project architect, WTA Architects and construction manager, Three Rivers Corporation, for their collaboration in helping us reach this point, as well as our MCESA family of staff, students, and parents who have shared their input and feedback regarding this project as we work to create a more inclusive building for all.
A very big thank you also goes out to the entire Midland community for the continuous support of the work of MCESA. Stay tuned as this exciting project progresses over time!
