Monroe County School District | K-12 Smithville School Campus

Following the 2011 EF5 tornado that devastated Smithville, Mississippi, Broaddus & Associates provided Program Management Services to the Monroe County School District for the recovery and rebuilding of its K-12 school facilities. The program included temporary facilities and shelters, classrooms, cafeteria, athletic facilities, technology center, greenhouse, vocational and agricultural shops, physical education building, and band hall.

Broaddus & Associates also guided the district through the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, securing $2.65 million for an 18,000-SF monolithic dome athletic facility designed to exceed FEMA-361 standards and provide shelter during future severe weather events. Services included grant management, damage assessments, facility repairs, design and construction management, funding coordination, and architect, engineer, and contractor selection.
