Walter Bracken STEAM Academy Replacement
1200 N. 27th Street, Las Vegas, NV
Prior to starting construction on the new Walter Bracken STEAM Academy, Roche Constructors abated and demolished the existing school. In its place, Roche constructed an 82,890-square-foot new building on a load-bearing spread footing foundation system with a masonry load-bearing steel joist building frame system.
Project Description
The new school is home to traditional classrooms, a multipurpose room with a platform for stage performances, full-service kitchen, library and media space, physical education room, music classroom, art room, early childhood classroom, pre-kindergarten classrooms, staff/administrative office space, and support rooms.
Improvements to the 7.3-acre site included upgrading and replacing the domestic water line on- and off-site, a perimeter retaining wall along the neighborhood property line, a courtyard, tortoise habitat, and synthetic turf play fields.
