Coolidge Elementary razed as Cedar Rapids builds new schools

Calvin Coolidge Elementary in Cedar Rapids, opened 1967 on a sloping quicksand site, will be razed to make way for West Willow Elementary. The 1967 project faced soil issues and precast delays but opened with 571 students and 600-seat capacity. The site was part of a 10-new-elementary push funded by the statewide sales tax.

Coolidge Center History Tied to Iowa School Upgrades

The article traces Coolidge center developments with Hiawatha Eisenhower Noelridge and Taylor elementaries. It notes a 1969 eight room addition costing 170 361, a 34 000 air conditioning plan dropped from budget, repeated bids in 1981 that failed, and ongoing wishes through 1999. The 2018 master facilities plan targets eight aging elementaries for replacement with 10 new schools including Coolidge.
