Anyone know what's going on in Benson?

They just finished a major renovation of the school a couple of months ago and removed all the portable classrooms that were parked in front of the school.

During phase 1 of the bound classrooms were updated and redistributed, but most of the job was done behind the walls: fire system, internet wiring, cameras... Places such the gyms, the cafeteria or the workshops were untouched.

The second phase seems that it is going to be focused on A/C systems. And that's normal, Benson has microclimates, depending where you classroom is located.

Benson High School to offer a variety of medical care with new $6.6 million addition

Benson High School will soon receive a face-lift in order to bring crucial health care services to students, staff and the community.

The school is nearing the start of a $6.6 million construction project, which includes a two-story health care addition and renovated north entrance.

Omaha Public Schools officials say this will be the first school-based clinic in the district to house several multiple health providers.

The Charles Drew Health Center, Methodist Health, Project Harmony and the University of Nebraska Medical Center are splitting the 10,000-square-foot space that will serve both the school and the Benson neighborhood. Students will be able to receive low-cost or free services depending on the provider, according to the district.
