Harding Grade School: The existing facility consisted of a 100-year-old, 7,000-square-foot wood frame classroom building and a 35-year-old, 5,000-square-foot masonry gymnasium. In order to have a final cohesive facility, the siding was removed from the existing wood frame building and the building was clad with face brick to match the-13,300 square-foot addition which houses a new cafeteria, library, administrative offices and seven classrooms.

Sheridan Grade School: The 7,100-square-foot addition was designed to provide enough classroom space to accommodate two classrooms for each grade and a multipurpose room that also could be utilized as an art room and music room. The exterior design incorporated the existing imagery to avoid the appearance of a small addition tacked onto the existing facility.

Serena Grade School: The addition was designed to provide much needed special education and general classrooms. The 4,000-square-foot addition also allowed for existing classrooms to be remodeled into the school administration offices at the front of the school rather than at a secluded rear location, and for a library/media center.

Serena High School: The new 23,700-square-foot addition will provide a new gymnasium and cafeteria. The former will triple the capacity of the existing gymnasium, allowing for a much-needed increase in physical education activities; and also will accommodate full-size athletic courts and adequate seating capacity for all extra-curricular events.

Budget:

$2,400,000 – Harding Grade School
$1,600,000 – Sheridan Grade School
$700,000 – Serena Grade School
$3,400,000 – Serena High School

The project consisted of additions and remodeling to three grade schools and one high school, with the work occurring at three different sites. The project was organized so that work at Harding Grade School and Sheridan Grade School would occur simultaneously, and that the work at the two Serena schools would occur immediately afterward.
