We’re excited to share the first draft renderings of the Pfeiffer Miller South New K-8 Building Project. These early visuals offer a glimpse of what’s being imagined for the future of both schools on the former Kenmore High School site.
Please note: these renderings are conceptual and not final. They are an initial step in the design process and are likely to evolve as planning continues.
Project Overview
- The current plan includes new facilities for both Miller South (grades 4–8, fine arts focus) and Pfeiffer Elementary (grades PreK–5), built together on a shared site.
- Abatement and demolition of the former Kenmore High School building began in Spring 2025, with planned construction set for Spring 2026. The new campus is targeted to open in August 2028.
- The original project budget was $61 million, but increases in square footage along with rising construction costs have led to an estimated shortfall of up to $13 million. To stay on track, adjustments are being made to reduce square footage and scale back certain features.
- The district is continuing to review options to address the budget gap. Design plans will be refined in cooperation with the Board of Education and in collaboration with the district’s construction team.
