Project Overview

This project, which is being constructed in multiple phases at Porters Point School, encompasses 51,000 square feet of new additions and 13,000 square feet of renovations to the existing facility – a $30 million investment that addresses long-standing capacity needs for a growing district. The work also includes demolishing part of the current building to make way for new surface parking, and is being delivered while the school remains occupied and fully operational.

The upgraded school will feature new pre-K through second grade classrooms, a cafeteria and kitchen, a multipurpose gym, a library, and a new entrance and lobby. The design also includes administrative offices and flexible spaces tailored to support a variety of educational and programming needs.

The basement of the addition houses updated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Infrastructure improvements include a new wastewater disposal system, underground stormwater infiltration chambers, and an emergency generator for added resiliency.
