Due to capacity issues and a growing enrollment, for a number of years the entire 6th grade would spend over ½ of their day in the Central Education Center and the other ½ in the Middle School.
Additionally, Early Childhood was outgrowing their own building, and the oldest building in the District, the 1917 original school, was continuing to have significant physical issues. A solution to the problems of multiple programs was needed. By placing an addition on the MS, the 6th grade was able to relocate entirely back to that building. Originally designed as an open floor plan, the building had received facelifts in the past but was unable to accommodate the entire 6-8 population.
Wold worked with the city to explore creative approaches to setbacks and provide a flexible studio addition at the face of the building. Office locations were relocated to the main entry to create a secure facility and consolidate functions. Community resources were also expanded through an additional gymnasium and weight room.
