It's important to note these are not detailed architectural plans, they are schematics. During schematic design, architects create conceptual drawings that explore scale, appearance and adjacencies of space inside and outside a building.

Schematic drawings take into consideration site parameters, how a building might best fit on a site, what spaces need to be included in the structure and how they might best flow, the amount of square footage to be allocated to each area, student flow, parent access, community access and other broad concepts.

The Denfeld schematics show an addition with improvements to the cafeteria, security for students and staff, improved accessibility and additional classrooms. Interior remodeling will upgrade classrooms while respecting the integrity and design of the original structure.
