The city of Montgomery has completed demolition of the long-abandoned Patterson School property to make way for a new Premise Health Center for city employees and their families.

Originally constructed in the 1950s, W. B. Patterson Elementary School served several generations before closing in 2007. For nearly two decades, the vacant structure stood unused.

Premise Health Center will provide primary care, preventive health services, occupational health resources, wellness programming and other healthcare solutions to city employees and their families.

“This project represents progress on multiple fronts,” said Mayor Steven Reed. “We are removing a long-vacant property that has been a concern for residents for years while investing in the health and well-being of the employees who serve our community every day.”

Chambliss King Architects is advancing design development and preparing the construction documents to move the project to its next phase. Once the design is complete, the city will initiate a competitive bid process.
