This
School Facilities Board funded project was initiated to replace
two buildings on the campus that were in diminished conditions
and to meet the growth needs in Benson. This "L" shaped building
is adjacent to the existing original Primary school, fronts the
road and welcomes a large play field. The program includes 13
K-3rd grade classrooms and new administration offices, all with
exterior covered walkways.
Between the two buildings, a main secure entry was designed which emphasized the fire-lane by constructing a decorative
concrete pathway with landscape nodes. In addition, we reengineered the main play areas for these grades along the bus
drop off area. This project is a prime example of SSPW's ability to design for the existing and future campus needs.
