Project Highlights

Controlled visitor access

Enhanced student safety

Improved building circulation

A highly visible new entrance creates a safer, more secure arrival experience while offering a warm welcome to students, families, and guests.

A new 1,600-square-foot, double-height glazed vestibule established a bold and easily identifiable main entrance closer to the building perimeter. Abundant natural light and expansive glazing create an inviting first impression, while interior windows connecting the vestibule to the administrative area provide clear visibility of visitors as they enter. The secure entry sequence allows staff to manage building access while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.

Beyond the new entrance, approximately 13,000 square feet of the existing school was renovated and reconfigured to improve functionality and support modern educational needs.
Administrative offices were consolidated into a more efficient layout, including updated conference, workroom, and reception areas that enhance both operations and visitor experience.

The renovation also created upgraded music and art classrooms with improved acoustics, storage, and functionality. Together, the improvements provide a safer, more efficient learning environment while better supporting students, staff, and the broader school community.
