Project Description

  • Patterson Elementary is a replacement school for the original building, which was built in the 1950s. Patterson is an exceptional school that serves a large community. That merited the building of a slightly larger school to accommodate the larger student body of 946 students. This LEED Silver school continues the tradition of keeping close community ties by providing a Head Start Program for the surrounding neighborhood and helping adults earn a GED.
