Phoenix Pre-K through 12 School

Owner: Plaquemine Parish School Board
General Contractor: Satterfield & Pontikes
Architect: Yeates & Yeates Architect
​Completion Date: 2014

A new 98,000 square foot school built to accommodate up to 500 students.  It is a three-story facility built on the site of the previous school which was destroyed after Hurricane Katrina.  The school’s remote location presented challenges for the workers & materials to reach the site and maintain schedules.  

Materials Used:    

• Brick - 567,000 units of Acme Yankee Hill
• Cast Stone - Various column capitals, straight copings, and water table assemblies from Continental Cast Stone 
• CMU - 77,000 CMU units provided Premiere Concrete Products 
• Ground Faced Units - 52,000 units provided by Featherlite
• Glazed Units - 13,800 units provided by Alajon

In addition to the challenges mentioned above, the project faced another challenge.  “Hurricane Isaac” hit midway through construction which required intense effort to manage schedules & cost.
