Tacoma-based Korsmo Construction announced Tuesday it has been selected by the Clover Park School District to build two new elementary schools on the grounds of Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

When completed in time for the 2014-2015 academic year, Clarkmoor Elementary School and Greenwood Elementary School will total more than 146,000 square feet, and serve 1,100 kindergarten through fifth grade students.

According to Greg Primm, Vice President and Project Director for Korsmo Construction, preconstruction work on the $48 million project is under way for both schools. Integrus Architecture and OAC will provide design and project management services.
