Denmark-Olar New K8 & High School Renovation breaks ground

Dozens of officials, staff, parents, and students gathered Friday in Denmark to witness the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Bamberg School District 2 pre-K12 school.  Thompson Turner Construction is honored to have been chosen as the construction manager at-risk with Stevens-Wilkinson providing architectural services.

The District will borrow up to $38 million to combine its three existing schools into one new facility on the U.S. 78 property where Denmark-Olar High School is currently located.  The shell of the existing high school will be completely renovated and the middle and elementary schools will be replaced with a new pre-K8 school that will be connected to the renovated high school.

The school district has facilities that date back to 1953 and 1954.  We are so grateful to play a part in bringing these children the state-of-the-art facilities that they so deserve!

At Thompson Turner, we are a family.
