PROJECT DETAILS:
Twin Lakes School Corporation decided to consolidate three K-5 elementary schools into one campus, which includes a Primary K-2 School connected to a 3-5 Intermediate School. Meadowlawn Elementary, now the Intermediate School, is renovating its reception and administration areas, converting the kitchen into a shared staff lounge, and the cafeteria moved to a primary gymnasium. A student entry lobby connects the new Primary School to the Intermediate School, and both schools will share a large cafeteria and kitchen in the new building. Each building will feature four classrooms per grade level and Special Education spaces. Lancer Associates integrated its Safety and Security standards into the visitor entries and the new Primary School. Inspired by local ecology, the primary school’s minimalist interior design supports integrating the school’s Leader-In-Me program. The campus features a new parent drop-off drive on the west side and bus loading on the east, designed to reduce local traffic congestion. Across the street, new turf will replace the high school football field to accommodate soccer competition fields, while two new soccer practice fields will be added to the west of the new building.
