Global Impact STEM Academy Upper Academy Phase Two Expansion

under construction

A nearly $19 million expansion project is underway at Global Impact STEM Academy in Springfield. The project involves constructing a new 32,000-square-foot facility on Clark State's Leffel Lane campus to expand opportunities for high school students in bioscience, agriculture, engineering, and technology. The expansion will complete the Upper Campus, increasing the footprint to more than 65,000 square feet and bringing all high school students (grades 9-12) into a single space. Features include 15 flexible classrooms, six STEM and science labs, a state-of-the-art esports lab, a technology center, college and career offices, guidance and mental health services, and dedicated special education spaces.
