Emerson School Greener Healthy Schools Schoolyard Redevelopment 

Emerson School's community and partners have developed a common vision for a redeveloped, greener, healthier schoolyard. The school is actively fundraising to help transform its conceptual plan into reality through December 2025.

Emerson School is located within the Milwaukee River Watershed and Separated Sewer Service Area. The conceptual plan calls for removing 32,700 square feet of asphalt and replacing it with new green space, mixed-use recreation, and educational areas. The design includes multiple gathering areas, bioswales, and the addition of 52 stormwater trees. The inclusion of a variety of native plantings allow for unique spaces on the schoolyard that can represent natural Wisconsin ecosystems, complete with student-created signage. The plan manages approximately 132,180 gallons of stormwater per rain event.
