Building of the Day Tour: Leckie Educational Campus Addition

Join us for a tour of the newly expanded Leckie Education Campus, where a two-story addition on the south side of the main building adds nearly 18,000 square feet of dynamic new learning space. Designed to support a growing middle school population, the addition connects directly to the existing building at both the Ground Floor and First Floor levels, functioning as a seamless extension of the original campus.

As we explore the connection points, you will see how the new construction integrates into existing interior spaces, allowing the addition to feel cohesive and fully embedded within the school’s daily life.

A key highlight of this project is the thoughtful execution of construction while classes remained in session. Middle school students continued learning on site in temporary trailers as careful phasing and coordination ensured uninterrupted school operations throughout the build.

Following completion of the addition and the relocation of students and staff into their permanent spaces, the temporary two-story and one-story trailers were removed. In their place, a new playground now anchors the rear green area of the site, adjacent to the Outdoor Learning Area. This transformation enhances campus functionality while strengthening the connection between structured play and outdoor education.

Through this carefully phased approach, the project not only expanded instructional capacity but also elevated the overall campus environment — creating a more connected, vibrant place to learn and grow.
