Haslet Elementary Promotes Collaborative Learning

Adolfson & Peterson Construction (AP), a construction management firm and general contractor, recently completed Northwest Independent School District’s Haslet Elementary School. The replacement school is located at 501 School House Rd. in Haslet.

“Haslet is a growing community, and this new facility provides ample space for current and future students,” said Bob Lemke, AP’s vice president of operations. “Every square foot of the school’s interior and exterior is designed to promote collaborative learning.”

The two-story building is 100,431 square feet and features an open concept library, learning pods with classrooms and collaborative spaces, and room for 850 students. Nicknamed “The Nest,” the school’s high-volume learning commons and library were designed to emulate a treehouse and act as a central point for the facility. Adjacent to the learning commons are classrooms, additional flex space and focus rooms with movable walls.

AP began constructing Haslet Elementary School in summer 2019 and completed the project ready for school to begin in fall 2020, despite 68 days of weather delays and local coronavirus containment measures. Huckabee served as architect on the project.
