Responsive + Resilient Design for Currituck County Schools
Moyock Elementary and Middle Schools stand as exemplary models of responsive and resilient architectural design. These institutions have been artfully tailored to address the immediate needs and rapid growth of Currituck County Schools, all while remaining mindful of prospective challenges on the horizon.
Expanding Capacity at Moyock Elementary School
The expansion of Moyock Elementary School introduced additional capacity for 326 students. This project incorporates 16 modern classrooms, versatile dining areas, and dedicated workrooms, providing an enriched environment for learning and collaboration.
Enhancements at Moyock Middle School
Meanwhile, Moyock Middle School’s expansion involved significant upgrades to each grade-level wing, adding six new general classrooms. A state-of-the-art science lab, specifically designed for sixth graders, enhances the school’s educational offerings, ensuring that students have access to contemporary learning facilities.
A Milestone in School Construction
These initiatives mark the first major school construction projects in Currituck County in over 20 years. Our team played a vital role in guiding the school system through strategic planning and design, ensuring that their staff and stakeholders gained a clear understanding of the architectural and construction processes to carry with them into future capital projects.
Efficient Project Management for Timely Delivery
By leveraging resources across multiple offices, we created a coordinated project management plan that allowed us to complete the design phase for both projects 30% faster than the average timeline for similar school projects in North Carolina. This accelerated approach enabled the district to initiate construction sooner, minimize delays, and stay ahead of rising construction costs, ultimately benefiting the students and the community.
