Goshen Intermediate School

The Goshen Intermediate School project was conceived after months of study by a diverse group of stakeholders. They looked at the usage and capacity of the Goshen Community Schools’ existing K-5 elementary school buildings and its 6-8 middle school building. With the assistance of Barton Coe Vilamaa Architects & Engineers, the study group recommended adding an intermediate school for grades 5-6 as a first step to alleviate space and capacity challenges at all K-8 buildings.

The district and architect worked closely throughout design and construction, evaluating multiple building concepts, materials systems and alternatives to balance the budget and the educational needs of the district. For example, precast concrete sandwich exterior wall panels were compared with traditional load-bearing masonry construction, and precast panels were chosen for multiple reasons. The result of this careful planning and collaboration was a project delivered on time and on budget while meeting all of the district’s educational goals.
