The academic addition consisted of
18,000 sf of new classroom space, plus full
renovations to
faculty offices and 5,000 sf of science
laboratories. The construction included locker
rooms for both lower school boys and girls, two
state of the art foreign language labs, five foreign
language classrooms, three practice & teaching rooms
for the music department with adjacent storage and
smaller practice rooms.
A new 16,000 volume, two-story library completed the
program. The East and South exterior
elevations of the building are clad in three-coat
integral color stucco in primary colors to offset
the existing brick face. The West elevation
reflects the original 1920’s federal style school
building. |
