Pana CUSD #8 partnered with Poettker to replace approximately 80,000 SF of outdated elementary space across 2 buildings with a new, efficient 65,000 SF two-story facility.  The school is divided into public/shared-use and educational zones, with PK-2 classrooms on the first floor and grades 3-5 on the second, organized around a centrally located gym for easy access. Key features include:
