The existing school was originally constructed in 1954 with additions in 1994 and 1999. The 61,644 square foot building was in need of significant improvements to address the outdated mechanical infrastructure (heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical), traffic flow management and parking limitations, hazardous materials abatement, ventilation needs, roof remediation, and the general exterior condition of the building facades. A renovation plan was approved that focused on improving the safety, learning environments, and accessibility for all students.
With a focus on collaboration, flexibility, and efficiency, the design features many elements to inspire our young learners. There are break out spaces in each section for project and small group learning, flexible furniture and natural daylight in every room, resource/intervention rooms dispersed throughout the building, welcoming and secure main entrance, cafetorium, separate PK wing, bright pleasant media center, and student work on display in all hallways.
