Echo Hill Elementary ready for first classes
Found: 1 Month 3 Weeks 1 Day 12 Hours 59 Minutes ago
The Gazette - MARION and#8212; Principal Dan Ludwig and 67 fellow staff members have been eagerly preparing to welcome 520-plus students today to Linn-Mar's newest attendance center, Echo Hill Elementary School.Overall, the Linn-Mar school district is expecting 6,280 students, 200 more than last year, for today's initial day of classes.The first thing that new Echo Hill students will probably learn is that their school is named for a nearby landmark where Collins Radio (now Rockwell) engineers, in the 1950s, first bounced a video image off the moon between two satellite dishes.The successful transmission, accomplished over a milelong stretch of road just east of the school, was a key step in the worldwide growth of an emerging electronic product called television.The name was suggested by Mark Seidl, whose children attended Oak Ridge.Opening the $10 million, 77,000-square-foot kindergarten through fifth grade building has actually been the culmination of five-plus years of work for Ludwig.The former Bowman Woods third and fifth-grade teacher was actually tabbed for his present job when nearby Oak Ridge School was in the construction phase before opening as a K-8 building in 2003.Ludwig helped open Oak Ridge, served as K-5 principal as long as those grades were in the building, guided Echo Hill through its construction phase and then gathered up his staff and moved it to the new building.Echo Hill Elementary, with an official address of 400 Echo Hill Rd, is located off Alburnett Road north of Oak Ridge, which has been converted into a middle school serving grades 6, 7 and 8.The new elementary has 24 classrooms (four sections at each grade level), a science room, 10 support rooms, a gym, art/music room and a cafeteria/multipurpose room with a built-in stage.It also has a state-of-the-art, closed loop geothermal heating and cooling system.Echo Hill is a sister school to Linn Grove Elementary School, which opened last fall on the other side of the Linn-Mar school district.The two schools, designed by OPN Architects and modeled on College Community's Prairie Ridge Elementary School, use the same floor plan but have different wall color and carpet designs.General contractor for both schools was Kleiman Construction....
