The middle school is an impressive “castellated Gothic” structure on a rocky hillside built in 1926.  With growing enrollment and changes in curriculum, fourteen classrooms and a new gym needed to be added. Two separate additions were required to accommodate the program.

The fundamental challenge was the search for a “rockface” material both compatible with the character of ashlar granite of the original school, and matching the decorative cast stone work so unique throughout the building.  These details enhance not only the existing structure but the new addition as well. As proscribed by the client, the additions are on the side and back, so that from the entrance road, the 1926 presence remains.
