School Board Invests $21.6 Million in Renovation Project at Riverside Elementary School

At its regular Board meeting yesterday, the School Board of Miami-Dade County commissioned an architectural/engineering firm for a renovation project at Riverside Elementary School valued at approximately $21.6 million.                                                                                                   

Gurri Matute, P.A. was chosen as Architect/Engineer of Record for this renovation and new addition project. Built in 1990, Riverside Elementary School spans approximately four acres and comprises two permanent buildings, serving a total of 835 enrolled students.

The scope of the project includes the addition of a new 23,387 sq. ft. building providing 396 student stations and a teacher planning office.

There will also be a new covered walkway to connect the new building to Building 1. The ground level of the new building will feature a new shelter and basketball courts, bleachers, and a scoreboard.

Other improvements include access to the new parking / parent drop off, a pedestrian pathway and adding parking spaces. The new design will also include an access / exit road to the new building as well as new landscaping. The expected completion date for this project is November 2027.
