Oakwood School, is a K-12 elementary school founded by parents in 1951. While comfortable and familiar, the Board of Trustrees recognized the school buildings’ age and size would more and more seriously limit the school’s ability to deliver the finest education programs.

KEA provided programming and master-planning services including teacher, parent and community workshops. Together with the various committees, a masterplan has been developed that addresses the school’s future needs while maintaining the informality, warmth and scale of the existing school.

The masterplan calls for phased replacement of the entire school campus while maintaining the current enrollment. 50,000 sq.ft. of classrooms, adminis-tration, library, lecture hall, and gym/multipurpose room are provided in two levels above subterranean parking.

Construction is underway on the Phase 1 Gymnasium/Multi-Purpose Building for a cost of $6,000,000.
