FMS Is Building Something Big for Skilled Trades

FMS families and students, here's a first look at something we're really excited about: the Construction Skilled-Trades Lab coming to our technical center.

This new 4,000-square-foot facility will be built on the site of the former PreK West building and is set to open by Fall 2027. The equipment for the Lab has already been purchased and is on site at FMS, ready for installation once construction is complete.
