Halfacre Construction Company, a commercial construction company, has been selected to add a structure to Gene Witt Elementary School’s current campus and renovate its existing buildings. Located at 200 Rye Road in Bradenton, there are currently seven existing buildings, totaling about 87,000 square feet, on the school’s campus. The new building, which is still in the design phase, will likely be between 15,000 and 20,000 square feet. It will be used for additional classrooms and match the school’s present architecture with the help of Williamson Dacar Associates, the architect on the project. Scheduled to start next summer, the project is slated to take about 2 years due to phasing. The total project budget is $20 million and includes site work to clear a 7-acre parcel, incorporating additional asphalt driving lanes for the parent drop-off and pickup queue and adding new playfields.
