School expansion, demolition in Midland district

The Midland junior/senior high school in Wyoming has an awkward setup: two separate complexes across the street from each other. The 1914 building was kept by itself while an entirely new building was constructed in the mid-20th century (before the 1950s aerial photos) and that building was the one that got later additions.

Now, after closing all auxiliary sites except the elementary in Oxford Junction, Midland is going to build another school around the “younger” one. The plan (PDF), approved in last week’s bond referendum, uses the existing building as a core while glomming on a second gym and a two-floor expansion (PDF). The 1914 building will be demolished in summer 2017, according to the plan.
