Owen-Ames-Kimball Company (OAK) has completed construction of the Peace River replacement elementary school in Punta Gorda for the Charlotte County School District.

The two-story, 112,000-square-foot school includes 47 classrooms and labs, a media center and multipurpose/dining area. The new building features interactive teaching boards, height-adjustable writing boards, an audio-enhanced sound system, interior and exterior security cameras and hurricane resistant windows.

The property also features a separate physical education building, covered play area and two fenced-in playgrounds.

The school was designed and constructed based on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification standards.

The OAK project team consisted of Jay Zwack as job site superintendent, Frank Mullins as project manager and Frank Bell as general superintendent.
