School officials and residents saw a glimpse of the future last Wednesday when Harriman Architects and Engineers presented the first three-dimensional model of the proposed Kennebunk High School renovation project.
Dan Cecil, principal architect at the Portland firm, presented the Kennebunk High School Building Project Committee with a "first draft" of the model. He took the committee on a 360-degree virtual walk around the building, providing aerial and eye-level views of the new faade.
The proposed renovation is a $40 million project that would preserve the historical integrity of the original building while making the school code compliant, energy efficient and more handicap-accessible.As many processors back away from Cable Ties ,Initially the banks didn't want our RUBBER SHEET .
"The building has reached that natural part of its lifecycle where it needs substantial upgrades," Cecil said.
The original school building was built in 1939 and the most recent wings were built in the 1980s.
"The building has substantial code deficits and it also requires major mechanical, plumbing and energy upgrades,Save on Bedding and fittings," he said. "Also, like all schools its age, it has been housing programs and classes in rooms that are too small or that don’t have sufficient infrastructure."
Cecil said many existing classrooms hinder the use of modern technology.
"A lot of the current classrooms have only one or two outlets in them, which is just not acceptable in an age when computers are so important to education," he said.
Cecil said the mission of the renovation is to give the high school community adequate educational space,ceramic Floor tiles for the medical, remove parts of the building that are extremely energy inefficient and poorly built and improve indoor air quality and ventilation.
Some of the most visually striking components of the project are the new central courtyard, removal of the underpass beneath the overhanging bridge and the numerous clerestories, the large high windows punctuating the faade above eye level.
Cecil said the design eliminated the underpass and overhanging bridge for safety and efficiency.
"The bridge provides a significant safety and security issue at the high school right now," Cecil said. "I don’t know of another school that has that system. Typically you have one major, secured entrance and then once in the building you can move freely throughout.This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their chicken coop . Currently at the high school you have to go outside and cross this very major driveway. That itself is a hazard."
The design fills in the overhanging bridge with new classrooms. Cecil said this fills another aim of the renovation: to create more classrooms.
"We needed to provide educationally appropriate spaces. We needed to make the rooms the size they should be and equip them with proper infrastructure, ventilation and heating and we needed to eliminate the nine modular classrooms," he said.
The design also proposes removing the wing of the school that currently houses the C Gym and art rooms to create a new gym.
