Master Facilities Plan

A long term investment in where our students learn, play and grow

The School District of Lancaster is in the third phase of a four-phase, master facilities plan to renovate, refurbish and rebuild its school facilities to ensure students attend safe, modern and fully-equipped schools for 21st century learning.

Recent projects include:

  • Reynolds Middle School: A $25.5 million renovation that was featured in a national trade publication for its refurbished design that added common spaces, modernized the interior yet preserved the historic architecture. Opened in 2019.
  • Lincoln Middle School: A $30.7 million project to construct a new academic wing, modernize common areas and add air conditioning on the footprint of the aging building. Completed spring 2021.
  • Smith-Wade-El Elementary School: Construction of a new $21.6 million, 61,000 square foot building on district land between the former Buchanan Elementary and Wheatland Middle School. Completed summer 2021.
