An addition to Brentfield Elementary School will connect the East and West buildings on the campus. Renovations within both buildings will add and optimize school functions.
Additions include a cafeteria, kitchen, gymnasium, and administration suite to accompany the addition of five classrooms. The existing buildings will be renovated to create grade-level pods that contain six classroom spaces, each centered around a collaboration area. Other aspects of the renovation include a special education classroom cluster with an adjacent building entrance, a set of music classrooms, and a library.
The building will utilize sustainability features that focus on reducing energy consumption, minimizing long-term environmental impact, and daylighting where possible to provide natural light throughout the building. The scope of construction will also include the addition of a storm shelter for the entire campus, a fire suppression sprinkler system, and updated LED lighting throughout all spaces on the campus.
