The Palmer High School campus in Colorado Springs will be different for students this school year. The City Council previously denied School District 11’s request to permanently close the block of Boulder Street that split the campus in half. However, in late May, the council reversed its decision, allowing D-11 to unite both halves of the campus.
Renovation Details
The $100 million renovation includes demolishing Palmer’s current tech building and cafeteria to make room for new facilities, construction of a new academic wing, and other renovations. The goal is to modernize the school while preserving its history and creating a safer, walkable campus with expanded outdoor spaces and state-of-the-art learning facilities.
Only freshmen are required to be on campus on Tuesday, which may result in limited traffic impacts. Wednesday may be the real test when all students return.
