Pershing K-8 School

The bright, sustainable, collaborative and expandable Pershing K-8 School replaced two aging ones-Pine Castle and Pershing Elementary School-and merged student populations into one learning environment with flexible instructional spaces that promote interdisciplinary teaching, collaboration, and development. The new campus, designed for 1,346 student stations, consists of a three-story, 160,000 SF facility with 18,000 SF gymnasium. Thanks to expert master planning it was completed $1,000,000 under budget on a compact, urban campus. This large school was placed on a 14.8-acre lot with all the amenities required by a typical K8-a 400-meter track, play fields, room for expansion, 179 parking spaces, and 4,400 feet of queuing. The 21st Century Learning environment accommodates flexible group, peer-to-peer, and individualized learning activities.
