gbA Architecture & Planning has been working with ¾«¶«´«Ã½ East School District to complete a two-phase Facilities Report: Part 1 is an analysis of the existing conditions for the seven KESD schools which includes an Existing Building Analysis and an Educational & Programming Analysis. Part 2 consists of Conceptual Design for a number of different approaches for the District's facilities. The KESD schools include: Burke Town School, Concord School, Lunenburg School, Lyndon Town School, Miller's Run School, Newark Street School, and Sutton School. The Existing Building and Educational & Programming Analysis included here, makes up Part 1 of the Facilities Report. The purpose of this undertaking is to ascertain the condition of the existing facilities for maintenance purposes and to determine how successfully the facilities provide a supportive learning environment for students and staff. This was considered for both current and future educational programming. This report completes Part 1. Part 2 of the Facilities Report will include Conceptual Design, which will begin following the approval and acceptance of Part 1. Conceptual Design will build upon the Existing Facilities Conditions Assessment and Educational & Programming Analysis and provide multiple planning solutions that create appropriate and inspiring facilities and campuses to benefit the experience of students, staff, and the community at large.
KESD & Our Current School Facilities
KESD is responsible for maintaining (7) school facilities. We are at a point where each of our facilities is facing some rather substantial repairs.
Scope of Work:
The district has formed a Facilities Ad Hoc Committee to learn about our facilities needs via meetings with & surveys from (students, staff & community members); as well as information collected by gbA Architects (paid for with grant funding). The purpose of this Ad Hoc Committee is to learn about the district's needs through an open and thoughtful process and to recommend the path forward (both short and long term).
Our Ad Hoc Facilities Committee Members currently include: Alyssa May (Co-Chair), Cynthia Stuart (Co-Chair), Holly Brown, Jake Simpson, D. Stein, Angelique Brown, Lorrie Mawhinney and Gary Briggs. We are still missing members for the town of Sheffield and Wheelock. If you reside in one of these towns and wish to join the committee and/or have interest in joining the committee, please contact us at info@kingdomeast.org.
