<p>KWAME Building Group will be construction manager, teaming with four other St. Louis companies &mdash; Jacobs Engineering Group, Arcturis, Hudson and Associates, and PGAV Planners.  Projects include, but are not limited to, upgrades to classrooms, science labs, libraries, auditoriums, cafeterias, restrooms, sports facilities, playgrounds and parking areas.</p>
<p>\"Most of the St. Louis Public School District buildings are more than 75 years old, and some are more than 100 years old.  The District recognizes that school building improvements are key to providing a high-quality 21st century education,\" said Craig Lucas, vice president of KWAME.  \"Upgrading out-of-date building systems also will reduce the District\'s ongoing operational costs through energy savings and reduced maintenance.\"</p>
