Belair K-8 School

Belair K-8 School
Location: Augusta, Georgia
Client: Richmond County Board of Education
Architect: Cheatham Fletcher Scott Architects
Size: 120,000 SF

The New Belair K-8 school is a 120,000 SF, one-story educational facility where, after completion, the owner was so happy with our performance that they then hired McKnight to also complete a school wing addition while the school was occupied.  The project consisted of new construction over an extremely tight timeline that revolved around the student's schedule.  The design included state of the art STEM technology including two labs and capitalized on the latest education standards.  The building consists of six building wings that are connected by large, open corridors with exposed ceilings and tall storefront windows.

The front wings include a cafeteria, kitchen, band and music rooms,  administration area, media center, collaborative learning area, gymnasium, and locker rooms.  The classroom wings create two courtyard areas that are complete with covered pavilions for use by teachers and students.
