Powers & Sons Construction is proud to celebrate the completion of two significant middle school projects for MSD Lawrence Township as part of the district’s multi-year K–12 Blue Ribbon Facilities initiative. The completed renovations and improvements at Fall Creek Valley Middle School and Belzer Middle School reflect a shared commitment to maintaining safe, modern facilities that meet student capacity and support high-quality education.
Together, these projects represent a combined investment of almost $72,000,000 strengthening learning environments for students, staff, and the broader Lawrence Township community.
Fall Creek Valley Middle School
Powers & Sons Construction served as Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) for renovations and site improvements at Fall Creek Valley Middle School.
The project included approximately 250,000 square feet of interior renovations featuring new finishes throughout classrooms and offices, including updated cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and fixtures. Major interior renovations and upgrades were also completed in key shared spaces, including the media center, cafeteria, music areas, and gymnasiums.
Exterior scope of work included new sidewalks and parking lots, a redesigned main entrance drive, and a new bus turnaround. Masonry and EIFS restoration work was also performed as part of the project.
Athletic improvements were completed to support student activities and campus use, including renovations to the existing softball and baseball fields with new dugouts and a remodeled concessions building. In addition, a new soccer field was constructed south of the baseball diamond.
Belzer Middle School
At Belzer Middle School, Powers & Sons Construction served as Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) for both building renovations and the construction of a new building addition.
Interior renovations encompassed approximately 250,000 square feet of space and included new cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and fixtures throughout classrooms and offices. In addition to these updates, major interior renovations and upgrades were completed in the existing media center, cafeteria, music areas, and gymnasiums.
Alongside the interior work, the project included the construction of a 16,000-square-foot multi-purpose addition. To support this new space, a new underground retention system was installed as part of the site infrastructure improvements.
Exterior work completed at the campus included new sidewalks and a new bus turnaround, as well as masonry and EIFS restoration work. The north parking lot was also redesigned to modify traffic patterns as part of the overall site improvements.
Celebrating Completion: Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies
The completion of both projects was marked by ribbon cutting ceremonies attended by MSD Lawrence Township leadership, school administrators, project partners, and members of the community. These events celebrated the collaboration and shared vision that brought each project to life and officially welcomed students and staff into their updated learning environments.
