PROJECT SCOPE
9TH GRADE CENTER
A two-story 9th Grade Center designed to increase space while easing the transition for first-year high school students. Floor plans include basic core academic classrooms and additional flexible spaces to accommodate collaboration and to create opportunities for future growth. The 9th Grade Center includes a gym, music room, cafeteria, administrative offices, and a library media center.
FOREST RIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
A two-story elementary school was designed into four learning “neighborhoods,” each representing a season. Flexible spaces are incorporated into the neighborhood design to accommodate collaboration and to create opportunities for future growth. This project includes a 5,500-square-foot gym and a cafeteria area serviced by the existing high school in the form of a warming kitchen.
