Site work and new construction of an educational facility in Savannah, Georgia. Design plans call for the construction of a educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

In addition to the current facility’s age, the STEM Academy at Bartlett Middle School has a challenge associated with its location. The current location is in a very commercialized area that creates challenges for accessibility (Ingress/egress). Available site acreage also presents limitations for expansion and other amenities including athletics & outdoor learning spaces. The district will engage the community for further discussion on whether it would be preferable to rebuild at the current site or move to another. Regardless of site, a new facility would offer a number of improvements to include: Flexible Learning and Lab Spaces, Advanced Technology and Arts Integration, Enhanced Sustainability Features, Increased Enrollment Capacity, Modern Athletic and Recreational Spaces, Added Outdoor Learning Spaces As of March 13, 2026, this project is part of the ESPLOST V - 2025 Bond Referendum that was passed and approved by the voters on March 18, 2025. Design began on fourth quarter 2025. However, information regarding a design team and construction manager has not been released. A tentative bid schedule for contractors has not been disclosed. Construction is slated to begin third quarter of 2027, with substantial completion date fourth quarter of 2029.
