Town Creek Elementary School | Classroom Additions

The addition to Town Creek Elementary School will provide the county with considerable flexibility in accommodating 4th and 5th grades as demographics may require. The addition consists of eight classrooms, restrooms, a teacher workroom, and vestibules connecting to the existing Elementary and Middle Schools. The continuation of the existing Elementary School mezzanine level provides fire protection, water service, mechanical, and fire alarm connectivity to service the addition. The project includes site and infrastructure planning for an additional eight classroom addition that will follow even before Phase 1 is finished. Safety and security features include electronic access control, classroom locksets that allow “shelter-in-place”, and network security cameras in corridors. This phase will mirror Phase 1 and provide eight additional classrooms and restrooms. Systems placed in Phase 1 were planned to accommodate further addition, and cost-effective solutions to the structure – using light gauge steel framing – will allow speed of construction. The Construction Manager intends to have the Phase 2 addition completed within 8 months, very possibly in time for the spring semester.
