Cowell Elementary School

COWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Denver, Colorado

Completed Fall of 2000, the addition and renovation to Cowell Elementary School comprised approximately 5,500 square feet. Difficult existing site conditions required creative problem-solving for limited play space, hot classrooms, lack of green areas, and deficient parking. 5 new classrooms were added plus the restrooms were renovated to meet current ADA standards. In the center of the school campus a play area was created adding basketball, tetherball, hopscotch, and other activities. Space was captured to create a green area where classrooms open onto bermed grass. Construction cost for this project was approximately $1.5 M.
