Scope Of Work
Antinozzi Associates was commissioned initially by the Town of Hamden to perform a feasibility study to help decide if renovations or new construction were the most effective solution. Upon comparison with the two options, building a new school on the existing site was selected by the Town and supported whole-heartedly by parents, administrators and town leaders. The design process included public workshop sessions to gain widespread support and knowledge of neighborhood issues.
Spring Glen Elementary School is now a 450-student Pre-K through 5 facility. One result was the L-shaped configuration of the school to shield the site from a commercial area to the north, while the gabled pavilion shapes symbolize the character of the residential properties to the south and west.
In addition to educational and administrative areas, the 58,000 square foot space features a cafeteria terrace, nature habitat, ball field, and playground.
