Wright City’s new high school officially opened its doors to students in January! Spanning 122,000 sq ft, the core design principles focused on safety, collaboration, and growth.

The design team adopted a comprehensive approach to safety, incorporating an ICC 500-rated storm shelter, secure vestibule entry, and color-coded pathways to assist first responders during emergencies.

The vocational wing is dedicated to preparing students for their future, with STEM and Career and Technical Education (CTE) classrooms. The school also features a media center and versatile collaborative spaces, including modern library, focus rooms, and a student commons area with café.

The school is designed to grow alongside the local community. As the district's population increases, additional wings can be added to the school's structure to accommodate this growth.

​The Zitzman Elementary School gymnasium, which was built to serve as an EF-5 rated storm shelter, was put to use during the storms that swept through the area earlier this month.
 
When news of the storm reached Superintendent Carrie Schwierjohn, she opened the gym to the public. “We had little babies, older community members, and even three dogs... Even as the sirens were going off, people were still arriving," Schwierjohn said.
 
Thanks to this resource, families and neighbors had a safe place to ride out the storm, just a few miles away from where an EF-2 tornado touched down. Seeing our designs serving their purpose in protecting the community is truly special. Read more.

According to the Timber Framers Guild, timber framing was one of the most used building methods in the US in the early 1900’s. Reflecting this history, the Town Square development in Town & Country features the unique art of timber framing capturing the look and feel of the historical town Altheim, Missouri, which was located at this site.
 
The Town Square development, spearheaded by Brinkmann Constructors, will serve as a gathering place for the Town & Country community at large. It features a lake with a dock, town square, pavilion, trail and more. It will also be the site of a new eatery called The Blacksmith Grove Restaurant.
