Vine Street, Kissimmee, FL.
A former Sports Authority store, the project involves transforming the “big box” into an atmosphere conducive to learning while adding a second story to the existing facility to allow for future growth.
The design also provides for separation of grade levels to ensure safety and effective supervision of students. The project marks the second time that the School District has worked with SchenkelShultz on an innovative design by ‘re-tooling’ an existing, abandoned retail-warehouse into a state-of-the-art public school facility.
The 615-student school will contain 36 classrooms in addition to an administration suite, a dining/multi-purpose space with a full kitchen, a covered outdoor dining area, a media center as well as art, carpentry, computer and science labs.
Clancy & Theys Construction, Orlando, serves as general contractor for the project which is slated for completion in December 2008. The Orlando office of SchenkelShultz is located at 200 East Robinson Street, Suite 300, Orlando, FL, phone 407-872-3322.
