“In order to accommodate the transfer of ninth graders from the middle school to the high school, Butler Area School District needed additional classroom space added to the high school. This project connects the existing cafeteria wing to the existing classroom wing and the gymnasium, creating a secure interior pathway for students to move throughout campus safely and efficiently. IKM also designed a new Large Group Instruction room, a JROTC classroom, and a new STEM space for the school. The existing offices, weight room, and locker room were all renovated to support the expanded Athletic Department. The exterior of the building features metal paneling that complements the existing brick found on campus. The resulting addition and renovation provides necessary classroom and learning space for the growing high school population, allowing the School District to move forward with their consolidation plans.” - ikm architecture
