(COLORADO SPRINGS) — On Thursday, Oct. 16, Colorado Springs School District 11 (D11) broke ground on Jenkins Middle School’s new academic wing.
According to D11, the new wing will feature state-of-the-art classrooms, flexible collaboration spaces, and innovative learning environments designed to prepare students for the future.
Jenkins Middle School closed in early 2025 due to structural concerns. The first stages of renovations finished just in time for the start of the school year. School leaders are commending the community’s resiliency through everything.
“Despite the disruption, the distance, and the uncertainty, our students thrived. Our teachers led with heart, and our community wrapped support around us. We stayed jaguar strong throughout the entire process,” said Anthony Jackowski, Principal of Jenkins Middle School.
Crews expect the new academic wing to be completed by next August.
