Scope Of Work
The renovations and additions to the school created a fun environment for the children. A walk through the facility reveals discoveries such as a corridor of trees, a cloud rotunda, and a large playful clock at the end of an undulating ceiling. Color coded stripes on the walls distinguish between different grade levels.
New classrooms, a cafeteria, and an activity center, provided an additional 22,013 square feet to the existing facility. Renovations to the existing 16,632 square-foot building provided technology integration, ADA and life safety codes and improved vehicle/bus circulation. Relocating the main office at the center of the school created a corridor "spine" with different areas branching from it, providing for an orderly flow of students. The renovation received an award from American School & University Outstanding Building: Renovation/Modernization, 2002.
