Project Description

The 21,000sf addition consists of a gymnasium, eight classrooms, teachers' offices and workrooms, and boys and girls locker rooms. A covered playground sits adjacent to the addition.

Highlights

The addition allowed the school to remove the portable/modular classrooms that had been in use.  There are two roof structures that match in size and slope; however, they were built quite differently.  The gymnasium needed high clearance for basketball and volleyball, which was achieved by using a customized steel structure.  Standard wood-framed trusses were used on the classroom side of the building.
