The Okaloosa County (Florida) District has broken ground in Crestview on the district's first new school since 2008.
Getthecoast.com reports that Pineview School will accommodate 1,200 students in grades K to 8 and is set to open in 2026.
The facility will have modern amenities including specialized band and chorus rooms, a media center, and advanced classroom technology. The campus design includes two-story classroom wings, a gymnasium with PE/Athletic locker rooms, and a cafeteria designed as an Enhanced Hurricane Protection Area.
Situated on a 49-acre portion of an 80-acre parcel, the site showcases the region’s distinctive elevation and abundant pine trees.
The site includes a curved parent pickup and drop-off area on the north side, and a bus pickup on the south side. A frontage road will run the length of the property to allow for future expansion.
The remaining acreage could accommodate an additional school when needed.
The architect is DAG Architects.
