Osgood Kindergarten Center

This 16-classroom kindergarten center for 380 students was constructed to accommodate the district’s change to all-day kindergarten.

The center’s classrooms were designed with ample storage rooms and cabinets. Twelve classrooms are designed as standard rectangular rooms, and four of the classrooms were designed in an L shape. Studies have shown that elementary students perform better in rooms with an L configuration, and the administration wanted to include several rooms of this style.

The school also cont2ains a multipurpose/lunch room, media/ computer center, small-group area, music and administrative offices. The building was designed as a green building to the LEED NC silver standard. It has a high-efficiency envelope and mechanical system, daylighted classrooms, low-VOC, and nontoxic and recycled materials.
