S. M. Wilson & Co. joined Whiteside School District #115 in celebrating the start of construction on the Whiteside Elementary School Addition in Belleville, Illinois, with a Groundbreaking Ceremony earlier this month. The event welcomed school district and community officials, along with community members.
The elementary school addition will eliminate the District’s aging mobile classrooms, which currently house the early childhood and pre-kindergarten programs, and bring these students into the main building. This improvement will also address concerns related to the mobile units, including accessibility, safety, security, and exposure to extreme weather conditions. The new addition will include six classrooms, a dedicated room for therapy and intervention services, and additional restrooms. Other site improvements will feature a new playground, secured entrances, and a reconfigured parking lot and drive lanes.
S. M. Wilson, serving as the project’s construction manager, is proud to partner with Whiteside School District #115 on several bond improvement projects, made possible by the voter-approved $10.6M referendum in 2024. FGM Architects is the design partner.
