Project Overview

This project involved construction of a new custodial and maintenance facility at Freeman High School. The building includes a primary storage and work bay of approximately 1,700 square feet, along with dedicated office and restroom spaces for school maintenance operations.
The structure was stick-framed with pre-engineered trusses. Site work included limited replacement of existing sidewalk, curb, and gutter, along with construction of a concrete driveway serving the facility.
Two oversized overhead doors allow buses and equipment to enter the building for interior maintenance. An upper mezzanine with a removable railing provides additional storage for general school use.
