2025 Strafford Project Booklet

ADDITIONAL PROJECTS COMPLETE, NOT DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO BOND FUNDING:

Campus conversion to natural gas

City Utilities of Springfield extended natural gas service into the City of Strafford. In response, the Strafford School District replaced all existing propane-fired equipment and upgraded the gas piping infrastructure, converting the entire system to natural gas. This provided a more stable, efficient, and cost-effective energy solution.

Air Conditioning for Max Evans Gymnasium

In 2014, air conditioning was added to the Max Evans Gymnasium. This upgrade not only provided cooling for the facility but also significantly improved heating performance and indoor air quality in this historic space.

Interior Renovations for both the North and South classroom wings

Following the construction of the new K–5 Elementary School, the existing north wing classrooms were converted from elementary spaces into middle and high school classrooms. These renovations included updated amenities and the installation of a centralized air conditioning system using efficient Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) units. The VRF systems provide individual room control while reporting to a central energy management system to support long-term energy conservation. The project also modernized restroom facilities and refreshed common areas, giving the space a more professional and updated appearance.

In addition to the classroom upgrades, the renovation added a dual school nurse’s office featuring three individual patient units and a private toilet with shower, a dedicated computer lab, and new counseling areas—enhancing health services, centralizing computer instruction, and supporting the academic and mental well-being of all Strafford students.
