PRESENT STATUS:
COMPLETED
Project Overview
The Old Cheney/N. Forsyth Area Elementary School project involves the construction of a new 100,000 square foot two-story educational facility on undeveloped land in Orange County. With a project cost of $14,283,398, this construction management initiative is implementing the second iteration of the Schenkel Shultz Architect prototype design for elementary schools in Orange County. Scheduled for completion in June 2010 after an accelerated 11-month construction schedule, the project demonstrates innovative fast-track methodologies while delivering a comprehensive educational environment. The facility houses administration offices, standard and specialized classrooms, art and music rooms, kitchen facilities, and multi-purpose/dining areas, supported by extensive site development including drives, parking, playing fields, and outdoor activity spaces. When completed, the school will provide a modern, efficient learning environment designed to meet the educational needs of a growing community while showcasing the benefits of prototype design implementation.
