Charlotte Day Country School implemented its 2014 Master Plan in three phases over three years, the largest component of the first phase is the new Math and Science Building.
The building provides much needed additional laboratory and classroom space. The interior spaces facilitate and support new pedagogies, educational technologies, methods and trends while still being flexible enough to be adapted for a variety of potential needs.
The building houses mathematics, chemistry, environmental biology, anatomy, physics and a robotics laboratory. The facility creates a contemporary and progressive learning environment for today’s students, and will include specialty spaces associated with project-based learning.
To fit with its surroundings, the building’s architecture needed to fit the overall campus context. Openness, accessibility and how the buildings relate to each other were particularly important to Charlotte Country Day School.
The campus remained open throughout construction. The team minimized construction disruptions and maintained a safe environment for students, faculty and staff.
Later phases will include renovations to a dining facility and a new kitchen and academic addition, as well as a new Upper School Learning Center and renovation of Cannon Science.
