The building is supported by a shallow bearing reinforced concrete foundation. The main structure is a combination of lad bearing CMU and structural steel. The exterior facade is made up of an architectural 22 gauge wave metal panal with a combination of brick accent walls and stone caps. The roof is a standing seam metal roof supported by light gauge metal trusses. The windows are bronze aluminum storefront type with bronze tinted glass. The center structure boasta a 24 foot high "window wall" that serves as the main entry feature to the new school.

Probity Contracting Group worked closely with the architect and the school board providing cost saving ideas and solutions that ultimately allowed the school board to move forward with this project. Probity Contracting Group was given a site ready pad and completed the project in 14 months.
