Christian school in Wisconsin is constructing an elementary school

St. Augustine Preparatory Academy, a Christian school in Milwaukee, is constructing a $49 million elementary building. 

The 123,000-square-foot building will rise on the school's existing campus and will accommodate about 900 students in grades K4 through fifth, reports Milwaukee Business News. 

In addition to classrooms and special education spaces, the building will have a full-sized gymnasium, a small gym, a rooftop garden, a playground and a performing arts center with seating for about 700.

The school is also planning to expand its existing building by 5,000 square feet to accommodate more athletic facilities and a family engagement center, along with updated classrooms.

VJS is the contractor and Korb + Associates is the architect.
