K-12 School Building

New Build: In 2009, Versailles Exempted Village School District commissioned Freytag & Associates, Inc. for a new school building serving grades K-12. This large new facility was designed so that the District could continue its current successful teaching methods and build upon them in the future.  The building is divided into three smaller school sections: Elementary, Middle and High School. The new building houses up to 1,400 students from preschool through high school and covers 226,310 square feet. The center of the school, the media center, is divided into three separate reading rooms to correspond to the different school sections.  Large North-facing windows provide pleasant indirect natural light for reading and studying. The school officially opened for the 2010-2011 school year. [9]

Expansion: On December 15, 2022, construction began on a building expansion dubbed Project Opportunity. Project Opportunity is considered the necessary next step in a district with expanding music, FFA and STEM programs. The VEVS music program has increased by 75 percent, from roughly 40 students to 70 students; FFA has increased courses and grown to 180-plus students in grades eight to 12 with two full-time teachers; and STEM programs have increased dramatically in the past 12 years. Because of this growth, Versailles Schools is adding an expansion on the south part of the school building. This project is called Project Opportunity. The addition will include new band, STEM, weight, and multi-purpose rooms along with a lobby and more storage areas. [10]

Versailles Performing Arts Center(Winner of the AS&U Outstanding Design Award) - The Versailles Performing Arts Center is a distinct performance auditorium with the ability to seat 450, utilized by the school and the community. The space was designed with extensive use of brick, red oak wood trim and features stone plaques that were salvaged from the former elementary school. This space is fully equipped for state-of-the-art sound and lighting for theatrical and music performances with a fully rigged stage for a wide variety of performances and special events. The building houses two gymnasiums with large divider curtains that can be raised and lowered as needed. Other spaces include two large art rooms, a full-service kitchen, student locker rooms with showers, central storage area with dock leveler, a large vocal music room, an instrumental music room, and four computer labs. The project was complete on time and on budget.

Versailles High School is the 123rd-ranked school building of 3172 Ohio school buildings, which is in the top 4% of all school buildings in the state. [11]
