New
kindergarten, first grade and library additions add instructional
spaces to this existing school, originally built in the 1930’s. A
new main entrance has also been created within the original structure. Both
the new classrooms and library wing are within the village’s
historic district. The new library octagon anchors the “historic” side
of the school and is a central element to all of the instructional
spaces. The new kindergartens and enhanced first grades are “ell-shaped” with
activity corners and well-proportioned child-scaled windows in
the classroom doors. The brick was selected to match the
existing. The roof shape, slope and cornice and window details
were also designed to recall the original character of the school.
