Francis Howell School District has selected S. M. Wilson & Co. as the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) to kick off its $91 million building improvement program.

Pre-construction will begin immediately in collaboration with architectural firm, Hoener Associates, Inc. Projects include a new Francis Howell North High School, construction on Henderson Elementary and Francis Howell North High School stadium and field work.

The program is part of Francis Howell’s $244 million bond issue passed in June 2020 — the largest school bond issue to ever be passed in the state of Missouri. The project is also the first CMAR building program for a school district in St. Charles County.

The project team has set an approximate completion date of 2024.

Since Missouri adopted the CMAR delivery method in 2016, S. M. Wilson has created a strong portfolio of CMAR K-12 building programs for several area school districts; including Ladue School District, Winfield R-IV School District and Hallsville R-IV School District.
