3000 Ridgeland Development
An official Groundbreaking Ceremony for the District Education Center was held on April 10, 2025. The education center will serve as a new location for the district’s administrative offices, but the vision for this new development extends well beyond office spaces. It was designed as a welcoming place to introduce new families to D100, a space to reimagine professional learning opportunities for staff, expand parent engagement and learning, further engage our community, and create much-needed outdoor spaces for the FMS students and staff and the broader community to enjoy.

Phase 1 of the 3000 Ridgeland Project is underway, and the parking structure adjacent to Freedom Middle School is scheduled for completion in August 2024. Below the parking lot is a water retention structure that will hold 500,000 gallons of water, improving water retention potential for the surrounding community. Phase 2 of the project includes planning for a District Education Center to meet the professional and community needs of District 100 staff, families, and residents. Outdoor learning spaces will also be included in Phase 2 of the project. The Board of Education approved F.H.Paschen as the construction manager to work in collaboration with ARCON Associates, Inc., and District 100 in planning, development, and construction.
