Highland Associates worked with Candor Central School District to carry out renovations and upgrades to its high school and elementary facilities. The district outlined its goals to improve safety and security and address education and curriculum objectives.

New entrances enhance each building’s architecture; they clearly define the main entry and provide security improvements. Elementary and high school administrative offices were relocated and reconstructed to adhere to single-point-of-entry protocol with separate student and visitor entry procedures. All visitors will enter buildings through a secure administrative area. All high school and elementary school doors were upgraded or replaced to meet barrier-free accessibility and security standards. An integrated video-surveillance and access-control system was installed throughout the buildings and grounds as recommended by staff, state guidelines and insurance criteria.

All classrooms received upgrades to reflect instructional trends. Dynamic, flexible work stations will provide opportunities for enhanced creativity, communication and collaboration among teachers and students. Infrastructure upgrades were included to ensure that classrooms can keep up with the rapidly changing IT world.
