Architectural and engineering services for a school renewal project providing a new 12,000 SF addition. The addition encompasses a new media center, resource room, exploratory classrooms, art and music rooms, and School Age Child Care (SACC). The split, three-level structure is served by a elevator to facilitate accessibility circulation. Major interior renovations within the existing building incorporated reconfiguration of the administration area to maintain visual control of the main entrance, space conversions to provide new classrooms and a computer center, accessibility improvements, kitchen renovations, roof replacement, HVAC and electrical upgrades, power/data wiring, and fire protection and security system improvements. The design team worked within the confines of tight site limitations to place the addition and integrate the required site improvements which included a new canopy at the main entrance, a creative playground, reconstruction of drives and parking areas, and the replacement of sidewalks and curbs as required.
