Amherst Public Schools

Renovation & Addition

This project combined new construction and renovation to create a safer, more efficient, and unified school. A primary goal was to bring all students to the east side of the street, enhancing security while improving educational flow and daily operations. The new construction provides expanded facilities for the shop and agriculture program, as well as dedicated spaces for music, art, and a modern media center. A secure entry, updated kitchen and food service areas, and a welcoming commons were designed to support both students and community gatherings. A multi-purpose space was also added, serving physical education, activities, and locker room needs. Renovation efforts created much-needed elementary classrooms, allowing the district to address capacity challenges while strengthening connections across grade levels. The completed project delivers a modern, cohesive learning environment that reflects the district’s commitment to safety, efficiency, and opportunity for every student.
