Cedar Crest
Intermediate School

Committed to educational excellence and high performance design, Southeast Dubois County School Corporation is home to Indiana’s first LEED-registered school facility. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is the national standard for developing high performance, sustainable buildings. These high performance buildings are typically no more expensive to build, yet provide optimal efficiency, comfort, and overall durability, and are less expensive to operate and maintain.

This new 5-6 intermediate school facility contains seven classrooms for each grade level, and other instructional areas include art, music, computer lab, distance learning lab, and two remedial/testing rooms per grade level. Important considerations were made to create a school that could serve the community during the evening hours. The gym, cafeteria/commons share a stage, and the media center, distance learning labs and computer labs facilitate dual educational and community use. Functioning as a public gallery of student work, the “Main Street” corridor allows access to the community-use areas after hours, yet secures the main classrooms.
