The city of Montgomery has completed demolition of the 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 closed in 2007. The structure has been vacant since then.

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.

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.
