Aspen Creek K-8 Preschool Renovation & Expansion
Broomfield,
Colorado
Boulder Valley School District had an extensive educational program expansion that required an addition and renovation to their existing 800 student Aspen Creek K-8 School.
Early Childhood Education
Project Details
- Square footage: 7,129 sf
- 6,129 sf Addition
- 1,000 sf Reno
- Project cost: $1M
Design Details
- Outdoor learning spaces
- Collaborative Design Advisory Group
- Improved site circulation
RTA identified several site circulation issues with parent and bus drop-off loops. Several solutions to these issues were discussed, and the one that was chosen provided a separate Early Childhood Education playground, complete with an outdoor chalkboard for both student and staff use.
"RTA developed a visionary solution that connected and blended the two existing buildings and remodeled a number of learning spaces to fit the new concept. The construction was successfully completed in occupied space with an at-risk student population.”
The project scope included 6,000 square feet of addition; however, the Design Advisory Group (DAG) identified additional issues with the educational program that required relocation. RTA Architects and the DAG were able to re-evaluate and relocate the educational program areas with little cost to the District, which further clarified and met their educational objectives.
