O’Shea Builders is partnering with Springfield School District 186 on a monumental project at Lanphier High School. The project includes the following renovations and additions to transform Lanphier’s campus into a cutting-edge learning environment for staff and students:
- New student entry area, classrooms, band/choral facilities, commons/cafeteria and kitchen
- New 450-seat theater, competition and practice gyms and lockers
- Renovation of Memorial Stadium and other aging facilities on campus
- Upgrades to campus safety, site parking and circulation

As part of the project, O’Shea Builders has become involved with Lanphier’s Multi-Craft Core Curriculum (MC3) program that introduces students to the construction trades. Our team is helping move the students’ learning beyond the classroom and into an actual construction site through the Lanphier Trades Network. For eleven weeks, the students will be introduced to the variety of professions and trades that exist in the construction industry, with the goal of choosing a career path that interests them.
