Prestonwood Christian Academy<\/a> has completed a renovation of its Upper School in Plano, adding more than 10,000 square feet of new and updated spaces for business, STEM, science, media production and other programs.<\/p>\n The project includes a new Business & Entrepreneurship Suite, STEM Lab, Spiritual Development Suite, International Student Program Suite and Broadcast Command Center, as well as six renovated science laboratories.<\/p>\n \u201cThis renovation represents far more than new classrooms \u2013 it reflects our commitment to preparing students for the future while remaining firmly rooted in our mission to develop Christ-centered leaders,\u201d PCA Superintendent Michael Goddard said.<\/p>\n The Business & Entrepreneurship Suite features a collaborative classroom and executive boardroom where students can conduct meetings, present business proposals and participate in simulations and other projects.<\/p>\n PCA also modernized six science laboratories with new cabinetry, epoxy resin work surfaces, upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, interactive instructional technology and enhanced safety features.<\/p>\n A dedicated STEM Lab will provide space for the school\u2019s robotics teams, STEM Honors students, engineering classes and Science Olympiad competitors to design, build and prepare for competitions.<\/p>\n The renovation also includes a new Broadcast Command Center equipped with professional-grade production technology. The facility is designed to give students hands-on experience in media and communications while expanding the school\u2019s ability to livestream events across campus, including athletic competitions, fine arts performances and academic events.<\/p>\n According to TDLR<\/a>, the Upper School Library Conversion took three months and cost $300,000.
