GTC breaks ground on $40M BEST Grant school project for Baca County




GTC kicked off a project that will transform the Springfield School District.

The town of Springfield is located in Baca County, the southeastern most county in Colorado, and its school district is the largest in Baca, serving more than 300 students.

In 2020 Springfield School District was awarded a $40 million BEST Grant from the state of Colorado. Working with the district, Diversified Consulting Solutions and TreanorHL Architects, GTC’s project includes demo of most of the old buildings and construction of 63,000 square feet of additions to a preexisting building, including a two-story classroom wing, a new gymnasium complex and an addition to the current administration space. Work also includes 19,000 sf of renovations, which in total will consolidate the district into a single, new pre-K-through-12 building. The project will be phased over 24 months to allow the campus to remain operational throughout construction.
