Tasked with locating a new Mitchell School District Performing Arts Center on an already crowded campus, Schemmer* helped to lead the owner to a site that functions with the existing buildings, and more importantly, allows for options without disrupting the existing high school building, which is planned to be replaced in the near future.

The 65,000 SF Mitchell School District Performing Arts Center that houses choral, instrument and performing arts activities. The predominant feature is the 1,200 seat, three-tier auditorium which makes this the largest high school auditorium in the State. The new facilities allow the school to host All-State events, and teamed with the City of Mitchell, it will attract high profile performances.
