The original Calabro Elementary School housed pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students in a 3-story brick/curtainwall building. The original building had open floor spaces where classrooms were only separated by 4-foot movable partitions. The school renovation work resulted in 9 classrooms, administrative offices, cafetorium, computer rooms, gymnasium, media center, art/music room and stage. Due to the relatively small size of the school, construction was performed in one single phase extending into the school year. Students displaced by the construction were shifted to swing space. Scope for this work in addition to the classroom renovations included: curtainwall replacement, abatement and mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades. The 33,210-square-foot facility has a student capacity of 131. URS Architects/Engineers, Inc. designed the project. Hall Building Corporation was the general contractor. The school opened in September 2007. It now houses pre-kindergarten through 4th grade students. |
