The new Early Childhood Center for the Ste. Genevieve R-II School District is currently under construction and exciting progress is continuing to be made every day. The center includes 10 new classrooms, a multipurpose room, administrative offices, student support spaces, a Parents as Teachers space and screening rooms. This project was made possible by the District’s successful passage of Prop SG. Years of long-range facility planning went into prioritizing projects for Prop SG and the Early Childhood Center is one of five projects that the KRJ team has the privilege of partnering with the District and Brockmiller Construction on.

Jefferson College held the ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday at their Arnold campus for the newly completed Emergency Medical Services Academy and Law Enforcement Academy. The KRJ team is proud to have been a part of this project, which included renovations to the existing building and an over 5,300 square foot addition. KRJ designed the original building in 2007, as well as an addition to the building in 2011.

The Dixon R-1 School District recently hosted their homecoming basketball games and festivities in their newly completed High School gym and cafeteria. The High School project, as well as projects completed at the Elementary School, Middle School and Transportation Building, were all completed as a result of the community support received for Propositions KIDS.

The recently completed renovations and additions to Dixon High School include a new main entrance to the building, administrative offices, expanded gym, locker rooms, restrooms, kitchen, cafeteria and concessions.

We are proud to announce the ground breaking for the new headquarters and training building for the Johnson County Ambulance District. The new building will include 5 ambulance bays, crew quarters, training rooms and district administration. KRJ is proud to be a part of this project that will assist the Ambulance District in providing additional training opportunities to staff and the community. Faster response times are also expected due to the building’s location in Warrensburg.

The ribbon cutting ceremony for the new De Soto High School Auditorium was recently held and the school showcased student performances in the new space. The auditorium has long been part of the master plan, which began over 25 years ago. KRJ is continually developing the master plan with the De Soto School District and working to prioritize incremental improvements.

KRJ is proud to announce the completion of the De Soto Junior High School cafeteria, classroom and corridor link project. This work was the result of the latest phase of incremental improvements planned by KRJ and the De Soto School District over the past 25 years. The ongoing master planning process has resulted in prioritized and phased projects that have been accomplished by the successful passage of 4 bond issues.
