Parameters

  • Creation of two classrooms and two offices with room for future expansion
  • Limited construction period with continued school operation during construction period

Solutions

3rdLine.Studio worked closely with city officials to develop an exterior link that would enable the new classroom/ office structure to be treated as a s separate building rather than addition. This in addition to placement and location of the structure was established in consideration of the school’s plan for future expansion.
