Elementary Schools Renovation Project

Elementary Building Project Updates

The Keystone Oaks School District is embarking on a multi-million dollar renovation of all three elementary schools that will address repair, replacement, and upgrades of equipment, infrastructure, and facilities over the next several years. The elementary schools have not been renovated for 30 years. 

We have created this dedicated webpage to keep you informed about the project, including timelines, school board actions, architectural drawings, finance information, and more. 

The first phase of the project is estimated to cost $15 million and will include: 

  • HVAC system upgrades that will improve comfort and air quality
  • Roof repairs and new windows to ensure safe and efficient learning environments
  • New playground equipment and surfaces at Dormont and Fred L. Aiken Elementary Schools. Myrtle Avenue Elementary’s playground will be renovated at a later date, as that building is expected to undergo other significant changes. 

This work is expected to start in the spring of 2026

  • January 2026
    The Board of School Directors approved the bid and contract from Walter Mucci Construction Company Inc. for general construction for the exterior improvements to Fred L. Aiken, Dormont, and Myrtle Avenue elementary schools. The contract amount is $3,670,500 and includes the installation of new windows and exterior doors for all three buildings. 


    January 2025
    A report outlining the findings was given to District Administrators and the Board of School Directors. This report serves as a roadmap for planning renovations and improvements. 


    May 2024
    The Keystone Oaks Board of School Directors hired HHSDR Architects/Engineers to complete an architectural study for all three of the District’s elementary schools. Over the course of six months, HHSDR:

    • Met with stakeholders to collect input on overall needs and goals for the facilities. 
    • Reviewed and analyzed existing facilities, grounds, and structures to document current conditions, determine compliance with building codes, and evaluate facilities based on current educational standards. 
    • Made recommendations on suitable renovations needed to accomplish the district’s goals.
