Construction of the new elementary schools—West Willow Elementary School and Maple Grove Elementary School in Cedar Rapids — continues to move along.
West Willow, located behind Coolidge Elementary School, Cedar Rapids, is taking shape ahead of its scheduled opening this August. Crews are adding brick and windows to the exterior and installing HVAC systems, painting walls, and adding ceiling structures inside each classroom. Lockers are being installed in common areas and, in the coming weeks, doors and classroom flooring will be installed.
In addition to West Willow, construction of Maple Grove, Cedar Rapids, is underway behind Jackson Elementary School. Crews are currently excavating dirt to make room for the new building, which is scheduled to open for the start of the 2022-23 school year.
