Kyrene Traditional Academy

Kyrene Traditional Academy migrated from a traditional K-5 to a K-8 campus. This project was master planned in three phases of construction over a two-year duration. The middle school classroom building (Phase One) was designed around pods of four classrooms with central collaboration space that extends into the corridors. These spaces allow for small group collaboration and promote project-based learning. The classrooms feature state-of-the-art 21st century technology and flexible furniture to accommodate various modes of learning.

Phase Two included a new gymnasium with a separate cafeteria and kitchen, separated by a shared stage which allows visibility from either the gym or the cafeteria side, is being constructed to allow for the increased student capacity. Band and music classrooms are also located in this building for easy access to the stage. Large roll-up garage style doors at the cafeteria allow students views to the exterior as well as easy access to outside dining.

Phase Three involved extensive interior renovations throughout the existing building to better align centralized functions such as media center and specials, a staff lounge and workroom, and an expanded administration area.
