DeSoto Trail Elementary School Addition

Project overview: DeSoto Trail, built in 1989 and in need of updates, has been over capacity for years and classes have spilled into portables on the school property. Currently, the media center doubles as the computer lab and a meeting place for talented and gifted classes. The construction project includes a music and art room and four classrooms. In addition to the wing, DeSoto Trail’s kitchen and cafeteria are being expanded to include new appliances, serving lines and hurricane-proof windows.
