In 2017, Dublin City Schools updated its master plan. Over the last 10 years, the District has experienced extensive growth with the addition of 2,400 students and anticipate an estimated 3,000 more in the next 10 years. Elford was privileged to have the opportunity to participate in the District’s expansion, taking on the renovation of the old central office to create a centralized preschool, and turning a 40 acre farm field into the new Eversole Run Middle School.
Eversole Run Middle School is just over 134,000 SF and includes over 50 classrooms, group breakout rooms, teachers’ rooms, specialty science labs, high-tech music spaces, unique dining, three courtyards, top-of-the-line athletic facilities, and a stunning gymnasium with a soaring golden eagle at center court.
The construction of Eversole Run Middle School was met with an unprecedented challenge, as construction took place during a global pandemic. However, thanks to the established partnership between Elford and Dublin City Schools, our team enjoyed navigating the entire process from ground up, and we are excited for the Golden Eagles’ students and staff to experience enhanced learning opportunities in this beautiful new space for years to come.
The existing Greensview Elementary School was built in the 1960s with a small wing added in 2009. This renovation and addition project included the renovation of 16,200 SF of the 2009 classroom addition and converting it into the building administration office with a secure entrance. The existing gym was also renovated to become the new cafeteria. A new 70,000 SF addition was added to the renovated area and includes a 2-story collaborative classroom wing, a state-of-the-art media center, gymnasium, and art rooms.
Each classroom features overhead doors, allowing students the ability to collaborate within or out in the environment beyond the classroom itself. Group study rooms are shared between classrooms and provide the look and feel of more focused environments. The open concept media center features large learning stairs for multipurpose use, a collaborative learning environment, demonstration space, student collaboration areas, and study spaces.
Outside of the building, the playground area was completely overhauled, replacing outdated equipment with modern playground equipment. The entire exterior is complemented with adjoining sidewalks, decorative paving, and landscaping. Utility services to the existing building were protected, re-routed, and/or replaced during construction to maintain operation of the existing facility while the new facility was being built.
This project consisted of the construction of a four-story, 137,000 SF steel-framed core and shell office building. The scope of work included a masonry brick veneer, full height radius curtainwall at the northwest corner of building, a large expanse of storefront windows, two elevators, and three stairways.
