Taconic Hills Central School District had a 25-year record for defeated construction referendums. As a result, all of the district's facilities were extremely antiquated and in disrepair.
With a growing student population, the existing buildings needed to be completely gutted and large additions added to each building. The existing buildings were also scattered all around the district; as a result, many students had more than an hour-long bus ride each way. The design team had to become creative to solve this problem. After months of detailed analysis, the team decided that a single, new, centrally located facility would be the answer.
