New Charter Community School

Location Cincinnati, Ohio
Client: Greater Cincinnati Community Academy

Project:
This project consisted of converting 20,500 sq. ft. of a former technical school then later a church's vacant storage into a State of Ohio approvable K-8 charter "community" school plan.

Details:
Existing areas had to be documented and measured in order to produce a set of existing floor plans as a basis. Once documentation was completed contractors began a nearly total (except for roof, exterior walls and slab on grade) demolition while the team designed and obtained approval for the new school plans; a school, which was designed to accommodate up to 700 children. New electrical and plumbing systems were designed, while substantially modifying the existing HVAC systems to accommodate the new school plan. Spaces designed included: 26 classrooms, science and computer labs, teachers' lounges, offices, restrooms, janitor closet, storage areas, circulation paths and an open and airy main Entrance lobby.
