PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Core Knowledge Charter School needed a building solution that would allow the school to expand their current enrollment and provide additional studies to an existing school facility. Intergroup partnered with Core Knowledge to plan, design, and build a new expansion to their existing building. Due to unique site constraints, the proposed solution was to create a two-story addition. The finished project moved the 7th and 8th graders to the second floor of the building and freed up space for not only more enrollment of elementary students but also the creation of a pre-school aged program. In the end, this design created a unique environment and separated older students from younger students.
