Designer and Owner Comments:
Designer Comments:  Corridors are widened at the heart of each classroom wing to create a commons area for multipurpose use. The cafeteria and gymnasium are located toward one end of the main street, and may be isolated from the rest of the school for after school programs or community use. A stage at one long side of the gym creates a large performance area with excellent sightlines from the bleachers. Short term and long range flexibility were key program directives. The plan will accommodate a future classroom wing, as well as additions to the existing classroom wings. Load bearing walls have been kept to a minimum to facilitate reconfiguration of the internal space. Offices are clustered for future conversion to resource rooms, and resource rooms paired for future conversion to full-sized classrooms. Classrooms are uniformly sized to give administrators more options in assigning spaces.
Owner Comments:
