Gilbertsville - Mt. Upton New K-12 School
The architects were challenged with, not only developing a new K-12 school which is to function as a community center with night-time access, but also to keep the completed costs within the state aid limits for the district, resulting in no additional local tax impact. The completed building has access to the library, auditorium, cafeteria, and gymnasium, without accessing the classroom wings. Access to the shop, art, and home-economics careers wing is also independent of the classroom wings.
Special Features:
• Low program to circulation space ratio.
• Amphitheater/small group instruction space.
• 486-seat auditorium.
• Full production stage with computerized lighting system.
• State-of-the-art electronic media in all classrooms with remote teacher control from each classroom.
• 2-station gymnasium with balcony seating and separate elementary gym station.
• State-of-the-art technology facility.
• New bus garage and maintenance facility.
• Outdoor sculpture space adjacent to the Art Room.
• New athletic fields
