In the heart of Georgetown, the Hyde-Addison Elementary School underwent a remarkable transformation, uniting the historic Hyde and Addison buildings with a visionary addition. This $47 million investment in new construction and renovations heralded a new era for educational excellence and community engagement.
Enhancing Infrastructure for Educational Excellence
The expansion included a 30,000-square foot addition, seamlessly integrating modern amenities with the cherished historic structures. This thoughtful design accommodated crucial facilities such as a new gymnasium, expanded auditorium space, a main entrance with a welcoming center, dedicated music and art classrooms, and a versatile kitchen that doubles as a dynamic learning environment. District Construction played a pivotal role in this endeavor, showcasing expertise in framing, drywall, ACT, and notably, in crafting specialty ceilings and high-end finishes. Amidst the bustling activities of Hyde-Addison, our team demonstrated impeccable communication and craftsmanship, ensuring minimal disruption to the educational environment.
Preserving History, Embracing Sustainability
With Hyde and Addison buildings recognized as historic landmarks, preserving their integrity was paramount. The project was meticulously planned to achieve LEED Silver certification or higher, underscoring our commitment to sustainability. The resulting LEED Gold Certification stands as a testament to the dedication to environmental responsibility.
Seamless Integration, Timeless Design
The newly expanded campus seamlessly blends into the historic tapestry of Georgetown while exuding a contemporary flair. The addition’s rooftop playgrounds, landscaped areas, and hardscape elements not only prioritize recreational spaces but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of the surroundings. By connecting the campus’s two main buildings with a versatile multi-purpose space, the renovation addressed the evolving needs of the academic community while preserving the area’s architectural heritage.
