A New Chapter for the Sandy Hook School

摘要

On august 29, just under 500 students started their academic year at the new Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut. New Haven-based architects Svigals + Partners led the design of the 86,800-square-foot K-4 school, working closely with the community, Consigli Construction of Hartford, and a bevy of consultants to create an inviting, colorful, and secure new campus filled with light and art. "The intent of this building is to offer a warm and comfortable environment for students," said Newtown Superintendent Dr. Joseph V. Erardi, Jr. at a media event on July 29, "and [the architects] hit a grand slam with that."
