Underwood Elementary School

The Wauwatosa School District constructed a new school facility at the Underwood Elementary School site. Development activities included construction of a new school building, sidewalk, playground areas, access drives, parking areas, landscaping, and utilities.

Green infrastructure improvements were incorporated into the site design and included the following items: porous asphalt pavement with a stone storage layer and an underdrain system, synthetic turf with a stone storage layer and an underdrain system, and a dry detention basin. All of these green infrastructure practices provide both water quality and water quantity benefits and collectively aid in the project’s compliance with the post-construction stormwater management regulatory requirements of the City of Wauwatosa and MMSD.
