After all of its facilities were destroyed in the May 4, 2007 tornado, the Kiowa County School District (USD-422) decided to rebuild in an expeditious, sustainable, high-performance and progressive manner. In its quest to embrace the spirit of the Greensburg community, BNIM and the School District constructed new educational and public use facilities that accommodate and enhance the District's educational mission in an outstanding and high quality way. Rather than developing low, first-cost buildings, the District created buildings that are a source of pride and will bring value to the community for decades to come.

Facilities include Pre-K & Kindergarten, Elementary School, Middle School, High School, Library, Distance Learning Center, Science Labs, Main Gymnasium, Auxiliary Gymnasium, Art Music Wing, Courtyards, Playgrounds, Cafeteria & Kitchen, and Football Stadium/Track & Field.

As one of the first civic buildings in Greensburg to be constructed to meet LEED Platinum standards, the project serves as a major community focal point, a catalyst for future buildings, and a tool to promote student health, productivity and enhanced learning. The school’s design incorporates innovative sustainable strategies, particularly related to daylighting, building envelope, site, resource use, energy production, rainwater harvesting, furniture and fixture selection, and building materials. In particular, the new school features design strategies and integrated systems to achieve net zero energy and water.

The School facilities meet the highest and best value both in the short-term and over the entire lifecycle of the buildings. These sustainable design features all ensure financial returns to the school district year after year. The School District is a leader in the region in the development of environmentally responsible and responsive educational facilities.
