Last week, we joined Murray State University College of Nursing & Health Sciences to celebrate the official dedication and ribbon cutting of Jackson Hall, the new home of the Robert L. and Karen Miller Jackson College of Nursing and Health Sciences! 🏫🥼

The new 72,500-square-foot facility brings expanded classrooms, laboratories, simulation spaces and collaborative learning environments together under one roof, giving students access to the technology and hands-on experiences that will prepare them for careers in healthcare.
We’re proud to have partnered with Murray State University, Ayers Saint Gross and BFW/Marcum to help bring this new space for nursing and health sciences education to life, and excited to see Jackson Hall serve generations of Racers to come!

Rise STEM Academy for Girls has officially opened the doors to its new home! 🎉 As Rise begins its expansion into a K–8 program, it will become one of only two K–8 all-girls STEM schools in the nation, creating even more opportunities for young women to explore, create, lead and see themselves in the future of STEM. 🔬💡

The new 118,839-square-foot school, located at Mason Headley and Versailles Road in Lexington, was designed to serve up to 900 students. Flexible classrooms, makerspaces and collaborative learning areas support the hands-on, project-based learning at the heart of Rise, with environmentally friendly and energy-efficient strategies incorporated throughout the facility.

Perhaps our favorite part of this project is that Rise students had a voice in shaping their new school. 💗💜 Through the Design Lab program, students shared their creativity, ideas and perspectives directly with some of our incredible female designers at RTA, helping shape everything from color and graphics to spaces that support collaboration, community and Rise’s unique school culture.

As Principal Cynthia Bruno shared, every space in the building was designed with purpose, but its true beauty will be found in what happens here: the questions asked, problems solved, confidence discovered and futures beginning to take shape.
We are so excited to see Rise’s students make this building their own. Welcome home, Rise! 💗💜

There's nothing quite like seeing a school filled with students, families, and educators for the very first time. 🏫❤️💙

✂️Last night, we celebrated the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Open House for the new Mercer County Elementary School with students, staff, families, and community members. After all the planning, collaboration, design, and construction, it was incredibly rewarding to watch the halls come to life with the people the building was designed to serve.

Designed for Pre-K through 2nd Grade students, the new 625-student elementary school provides spaces that encourage collaboration, creativity, and hands-on learning while creating a welcoming place where MCES students will learn, grow, and thrive for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to life. We are grateful to have partnered with Mercer County Schools, CMTA, and Trace Creek Construction to create a learning environment that will have a lasting impact on young learners.

Congratulations, Mercer County! 💙💛
