Iredell-Statesville Schools

New Atlantic served as General Contractor for the construction of two middle schools for Iredell‑Statesville Schools, addressing population growth in the Statesville and Mooresville areas and expanding the district’s capacity to serve its growing student population.

Third Creek Middle School, a 98,135‑square‑foot facility, was constructed on the existing Third Creek Elementary School site in response to growth in Statesville. Designed for a capacity of 600–650 students, with future expansion potential to 800 students, the new school addressed limitations at the former Statesville Middle School. The building layout improves safety and supervision by eliminating the need for students to traverse multiple floors during class transitions, particularly during inclement weather. The project was seamlessly attached to the existing elementary school along the kitchen wall and included parking lot expansion and new playing fields. Construction utilized load‑bearing CMU and steel, brick veneer cavity walls, and standing seam metal roofing to create a durable learning environment.

Woodland Heights Middle School, a 101,125‑square‑foot facility, was constructed on the existing Woodland Heights Elementary School site to support population growth in Mooresville, closely tied to the Charlotte‑Metro area. Designed for 800–850 students, the project enabled the relocation of students from Brawley Middle School, which was operating beyond its intended capacity. This transition allowed Mount Mourne IB School to move into the vacated Brawley Middle School facility. The project included seamless integration with the existing school, expanded parking and playing fields, and the use of load‑bearing CMU and steel, brick veneer cavity walls, and standing seam metal roofing.

Together, these projects expanded educational capacity for Iredell‑Statesville Schools while delivering durable, functional facilities designed to meet the district’s evolving needs.
