A joint venture between Haselden Construction and Diesslin Structures recently celebrated the grand opening of Moffat Consolidated School District No. 2’s new PK-12 school in Moffat. Designed by RTA Architects, the new school is slated for LEED Gold certification and features elements such as an exposed glu-lam beam structure. The $15 million school – funded by a BEST grant and matching bond passed by the voters – includes art, music, vocational technology and metal shop classrooms in addition to standard school rooms. One of only two schools in the district, Moffat PK-12 averages an enrollment of 136 children, and serves the communities of Moffat and Crestone. The new school at 501 Garfield Ave. replaces the aging facility, which previously housed the students. The product of multiple additions throughout its lifetime, the old facility experienced multiple structural issues over the last several years. Haselden also recently celebrated the topping out of the 300,000-square-foot Laramie High School in Laramie, Wyoming. The two-story, $86 million facility, designed by Lantz-Boggio Architects, features a theater, auditorium, indoor swimming pool and main and auxiliary gym. The 40-acre site also includes a football stadium, practice field and tennis courts. It will be ready for students in fall 2016.
