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 opportunities for our students through additional instructional spaces.

• 51,100 sq. ft.

• 900-student total school capacity

• Auxiliary gymnasium and weight room

• Cafeteria expansion

• Two-story learning community

• Technology lab

• Remodel of the band/vocal areas to accommodate the cafeteria expansion

• Remodel and expansion of the classroom collaboration spaces

• Creation of an upper-level corridor in the classroom wing to improve student flow
