To address the outdated infrastructure of a century-old school, Scherrer forged a partnership with the Burlington School District. The school board recognized the critical importance of providing students with top-notch facilities to further their academic success.
As a result of this collaboration, a brand new middle school was constructed, boasting state-of-the-art features such as energy efficiency and versatile learning spaces. This new facility was designed to cater to the needs of over 700 students, ensuring they have access to modern amenities that foster a conducive learning environment.
Due to new construction happening within 20 feet of the current middle school, careful planning and coordination were necessary for the entire 18-month construction period to ensure the safety of students and minimize disruption to their learning and after-school activities.
The new school features several core curriculum classrooms, including special education and spaces for elective programming (STEAM, art, band, orchestra, and choir), a two-station gym, fitness room, and locker rooms, commons areas including a library with flexible learning spaces, cafeteria, staff offices, and additional work and storage rooms.
