Project Overview
The Portage Public Schools 2021 Bond Program in Portage, Michigan delivered a comprehensive district-wide building program for Portage Public Schools, addressing facilities across the full K-12 campus. The $175,000,000 program includes the replacement of Central High School, renovations and additions to Northern High School, two new elementary schools, and technology upgrades across nine additional elementary buildings. The program represents the district's most significant capital investment, modernizing educational facilities at every level to serve the community for decades to come. The client engaged PRESWERX to develop a proposal, renderings, animations, and film in support of the competitive pursuit.
Client Challenges
The client needed a package where a multi-school bond program read as one unified community investment:
A multi-school scope spanning high schools, new elementary schools, and technology upgrades across nine buildings required a unified pursuit package.
A $175M bond program required a proposal and visuals that gave the district confidence in both the construction vision and the team.
A community-facing investment required film alongside renderings and animations to make the bond program accessible to parents, voters, and district leadership.
Together, these called for a comprehensive pursuit package equal to the scale and significance of the district's largest capital program.
Scope of Work
PRESWERX delivered a comprehensive pursuit package for the Portage Public Schools 2021 Bond Program in Portage, Michigan. The proposal organized the full district-wide construction program, covering the Central High School replacement, Northern High School renovations and additions, two new elementary schools, and technology upgrades across nine additional buildings. Renderings and animations depicted the new and renovated facilities, giving Portage Public Schools' evaluation team a clear visual picture of the completed program across the district. Film gave the client an additional format for communicating the bond investment to parents, voters, and community stakeholders. All deliverables were calibrated to support the competitive submission.
PRESWERX Approach
PRESWERX approached this as a district-wide program that needed to communicate at the community level as much as the construction level.
Developed a proposal that organized the district's full construction scope into a coherent, district-wide narrative for the Portage Public Schools evaluation.
Produced renderings and animations that captured each project across the district, from the new high school to the new elementary campuses.
Created film that communicated the bond program's community impact in a format accessible to parents, voters, and district leadership.
The result was a package that made a complex, district-wide capital program feel as approachable as the schools at its center.
Results Delivered
PRESWERX delivered a proposal, renderings, animations, and film package built to carry a $175M district-wide bond program through a competitive pursuit.
The proposal organized a complex, multi-building scope into a clear district-wide narrative built for Portage Public Schools' evaluation.
Renderings and animations gave the district a visual picture of the completed schools and facilities across all project types.
Film gave the client a community-accessible format for communicating the bond investment to parents, voters, and district stakeholders.
