Building on our Foundations: Phase 2 Media Center Improvement and Expansion
In January, 2010, Kent School conducted a master space plan exercise which included an evaluation of our current space as compared to "like" schools and whether we use our space efficiently and effectively to serve our student body. Results of our space plan indicated that Kent School students and teachers would benefit from an additional 3,000 square feet to accommodate our undersized library and middle school science area.
Currently, our library is housed within our middle school although it serves every student. Our renovation and expansion plans call for the inclusion of a media center and more student friendly entries, exits and room use. A library/media center expansion will provide for better all-school access along with the most up-to-date learning tools in print and online. This overall school improvement will provide us with a facility that matches our academic program's excellence.
The Media Center Improvement and Expansion is the second phase of a three- phase expansion and renovation. Phase one was completed in 2009 which resulted in our expanded Little School which serves three and four year old students. Phase 3 is planned for the 2012-2014 time frame and will fulfill our master space plan objectives of a larger, updated middle school science area and additional classroom space in the middle school.
