The Peak Innovation Center was created to provide educational opportunities for the Fort Smith School District and surrounding districts in Arkansas and Oklahoma by providing a facility built for hands-on, career-focused learning. The building supports a new model of education where students learn skilled trades from industry professionals in real-world environments.
Originally a warehouse, the 174,000 square foot facility was transformed into a modern learning center that now houses classrooms, advanced manufacturing labs, healthcare sciences, information technology, and visual arts programs. The building’s infrastructure was designed to support the unique needs of each program, ensuring comfortable, safe, and reliable spaces for both students and instructors. A large learning stair and open corridor encourage collaboration and engagement, creating an inviting environment that supports both education and community interaction.
