The Ascot Avenue Elementary School Comprehensive Modernization includes a new classroom building with 23 classrooms – including 10 kindergarten classrooms – and associated program support spaces, site work and outdoor learning and play-space on the 5.2-acre site. The modernization also includes a new administration and MPR building, kitchen, lunch shelter, and maintenance and operations building. The kitchen will serve three meals a day throughout the year for 850 students.

Associated program support spaces include a new library and a maker space suite – a hub for project-based learning for all grade levels on campus. It provides the opportunity for large-group instruction, small-group breakout space, and team-oriented project-based learning. Key drivers for this project are safety, providing a campus identity and creating of a sense of community. The modernization essentially turns the existing planning inside out - by building on the campus perimeter and making an internal “town square”.
