Erland Construction completes primary school at Fay School

Erland Construction completed the new 35,000 s/f primary school building for the Fay School. As part of this project, Erland also renovated the existing Steward Dormitory into a new Wellness Center. These two projects make up the second phase of the school's master plan for construction on campus. The first phase, built by Erland, was completed in the spring of 2009. The construction included a new wastewater treatment plant, a maintenance building, a new ceremonial entrance to the campus, and two LEED Gold village-style faculty/student dormitories. Phase two reunited the phase one team - Erland Construction, architecture firm S/L/A/M Collaborative, and owner's representative Pinck & Co. The new building, which opened this past fall, serves pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and grades one and two. Both pre-K and kindergarten are new grades for Fay, and the building also allows for the expansion of the existing grades one and two. The new primary school building will apply for LEED Silver certification. The first floor of the existing Steward Dormitory was converted to the new Wellness Center. To accommodate the Wellness Center, the students residing in the Steward Dorm were moved into the dorms completed in phase one. The new 8,500 s/f Wellness Center has upgraded patient rooms, classrooms, and a faculty apartment; a new elevator, clock tower, hardscape and main entry were also added.
