FLAGSTAFF — The City of Flagstaff and its contractor, Loven Contracting, Inc. are set to begin construction of the Montalvo Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education Community Center located at 211 E. First Avenue the week of April 20. Construction is anticipated to be completed by late 2026.

This redevelopment and community enhancement project represents an exciting step forward in providing educational opportunities and community space for Flagstaff residents. The new facility will serve as a hub for learning, innovation, and connection.

As part of the project, a new mosaic inspired by the original design from the former structure will be installed upon completion, preserving an important visual element of the site’s history.

Construction activities may result in temporary impacts such as noise, dust, and minor traffic disruptions in the surrounding area. The City and its contractor will implement measures to minimize these impacts and maintain a safe environment for the community.
