FERRUCCI JUNIOR HIGH

Ferrucci Junior High needed a 10 classroom addition and a commons expansion to accommodate its growing student population.  Our design studies explored various locations in response to the schools property layout and finalized on adding our classrooms to the eastern section of the property  to create a visible presence for the upcoming traffic of Wildwood Park Drive.

Our design concept was initivated by a vision to created an angled classroom wing that broke the rigid nature of the existing brick building.  I found that a 10 degree angle provided sufficient space to connect the Classrooms to the Gym area.  This angle tore away from the structured layout of the existing brick building and improved circulation to the classrooms.

Our connection to the existing main building proved challenging and required detailed BIM coordination. I managed the consultant coordination meetings and produced bi-weekly reports on coordination items based on my Navisworks clash-detection reports.  My role in this project evolved from designer to revit model manager, to project architect / code reviewer, and finally construction administrator.
