The Charlotte Lappla project consists of the conversion of a 1956 building into an early childhood education center for pre-kindergarten through first grade. In addition to renovations to all the building’s systems, the school’s existing multipurpose room was absorbed as “found space” through its conversion to a library.
Pivotal to the project is construction of a new 17,500 SF addition housing art and music rooms, community multipurpose room, recreation center, five new classrooms, satellite kitchen facilities and support areas. In the design phase, particular emphasis was placed upon a solution that matched the community’s architectural vernacular.
Extensive site reconstruction is also being undertaken to provide new vehicle and pedestrian routing on this hilly, two-building campus.
