Carrolton Elementary Plans Go Before Oak Creek Officials

OAK CREEK, WI — In Nov. 2018, the Oak Creek – Franklin voters approved a referendum for $60.9 million to address various projects in the Oak Creek – Franklin Joint School District.

Now district officials are turning their attention to a major upgrade at Carollton Elementary School.

The Oak Creek-Franklin Joint School District is plan approvals for an addition to the existing building, a parking lot addition, and modifications to the existing internal access drive for the school located at 8965 S. Carollton Dr. Those plans will be reviewed by the Oak Creek plan commission on Tuesday, Jan. 13. If approved, they will eventually move on to the city council for approval.

Walkways are proposed on the west to connect to the existing hard surface playground/parking lot.

The two-story, roughly 12,000 square-foot addition on the southern portion of the existing building will include space for a gymnasium, restrooms, offices for the school principal, health, coach, and other staff; restrooms, and various storage areas.

The second story will be mostly open with a mechanical area. This will be the new main entrance for the school.

Proposed exterior materials include brick in colors to match the existing building, precast concrete in orange and gray, glazed block accents in blue, and three metal panel sections in blue and gray.
