Groundbreaking for New Admin. Building

Members of the school board, district officials, representatives of the design and construction teams, and the Marion Chamber of Commerce were on hand as the ground was broken for the new Linn-Mar Administrative Building.

The building will be constructed near the intersection of Winslow and Tower Terrace roads, just east of the tennis courts on the Excelsior Middle School campus.

The current administrative offices are housed with high school programs at the Learning Resource Center. Those programs, Venture and COMPASS, will have additional space for expansion once the administrative building is completed.

The 27,800-square-foot administrative building will include space for information technology, student services, human resources, business services, teaching and learning, nutrition services, communications, and volunteer services. The building will also provide additional meeting space and an updated boardroom.

The building is expected to be completed late next year.
