![]() The need for expansion comes as school leaders prepare for at least 1,750 single-family homes and more than 525 multi-family apartment units to be built within Franklin’s school district boundaries in the coming years. Opened in 1928 with a capacity of about 200 students, the school is the smallest and oldest of the eight buildings in the school district. The exercise was a hypothetical one, but now Franklin schools will move ahead with planning for a renovation and expansion project, which Schmidt Associates will have first priority in designing, said David Clendening, superintendent. The Franklin school board approved Indianapolis-based architecture firm Schmidt Associates as the lead architect for future projects in June after the group presented renderings for a possible expansion of Union Elementary that preserves historical elements of the building and would increase capacity to about 600 students. Leaders at Franklin Community Schools will look to expand Union Elementary School in the coming years. Union Elementary School is the oldest Franklin school, and will expand to increase capacity in the coming years.
