      A random online estimator told me about 27m for a high school in the US. So like 1466 if you round that up to 30m for easier math.

        They built a new elementary school down the road a few years ago. It cost $63 million, so about 700 of those.

          Might make sense. Cost seems to be 250-800 per square foot depending on construction method and quality.

          The example I looked at was for a two story 130,000 sqft I think. But some districts shovel all students into one mega school, so they would be huge and much more expensive.
