Severance Middle School Addition

The Need

Severance Middle School was designed and constructed with future growth in mind. The building is now serving at 126% core building capacity (755 students served for a 600-student building).

Highlights

The school has reached the point where this planned addition is now necessary to achieve a student population of 900. Additionally, we look to expand educational opportunities for our students through an innovation commons, maker space, and design lab.
