How did the BHSBC decide on a major addition/minor renovation design scheme?

The decision to go forward with a major addition with minor renovation design scheme that will maintain, with upgrades, the existing fieldhouse and pool, was based on extensive research and information gathering, including:

Educational Visioning Workshops
Grade Configuration and District-Wide Space Analysis
Building Systems Assessments
Site Constraint Study
Educational Programming Analysis

Community Design Workshops
Enrollment Trend Analysis
Teacher, School Administration, and Community Input
Traffic Pattern and Options Analysis
Social-Emotional-Learning Analysis
Environmental and Sustainable Design Study

After examining the design options, including new construction, renovation, and renovation with addition, it was determined that a renovation with major addition would most adequately address the town’s needs.
