Glastonbury, CT

A former agricultural field is transformed into a new elementary school with a variety of outdoor spaces and recreational areas.

The new 600-student elementary school is located on a 24-acre site in the southwest corner of Glastonbury. Located on a former agricultural field, the existing site had three tobacco barns, two of which were preserved and provide screening for the adjacent neighborhood along with landscaped berms. Site improvements include entry plazas, an interior courtyard, outdoor play areas, athletic fields, parking, landscape plantings, and wildlife conservation plantings. The athletic complex includes a youth soccer field, full size soccer field, Little League baseball field, and paved play area with basketball court.
