Project Description:
The original F.K. Sweet Elementary School
was built in the 1940's and with the exception of the art room,
cafeteria, media center and kindergarten was completely demolished
to make way for the new school. 26 classrooms for grades 1 through
5 were demolished. The new facility is 60,000 s.f. and consists
of elementary classrooms, administration, art, music, computer
labs, science and resource rooms and free-standing custodial /
chiller plant facility.
A future classroom facility is planned to go between the new facility
and North of the existing media building. Student drop-off and
staff parking are located to the East of the school with the bus
loop to the West.
Existing Covered P.E. and hard court amenities are located South
of the existing cafeteria. The North facade is articulated with
a projecting traingular waiting / administration area. Large store
front windows accentuate the main facade and provide and abundance
of daylight. A sunshade projects from the reception area and interfaces
with a continuous covered walk, which extents around the campus
to both parking areas.
