Completion
2009, 2010
We assisted Darlington School in the initial land use acquisition and master planning for this new Middle School. It was determined, through a detailed life/ cost analysis, that the existing facility would not meet the owner’s long term programmatic needs and the maintenance and operating costs would not meet the efficiency levels expected of the program. We were challenged to develop a new 65,000 sf facility which reflected the historic English Gothic style of the campus while achieving a LEED “Gold” rating.
Being Good Stewards With L.E.E.D. GOLD
Our long-term relationship with Darlington School began in 2003, including multiple master planning studies, new Junior High School, renovation of 1920’s Boy’s Housing, new gatehouse and entry, planning for new Soccer Academy facility, New baseball facility, New maintenance facility and land acquisition studies.
The facility includes middle school classrooms, art studio, choral and orchestra rehearsal spaces, science laboratories, student commons area, dining hall, open air activity pavilion and an outdoor multipurpose venue.
