Greenwich, CT. – ARC/Architectural Resources Cambridge announced the completion of the second phase of the 70,000sf new Upper School academic building and the 420-seat, 21,000sf theater for Greenwich Country Day School in Greenwich.
The Theater and Upper School buildings are part of a larger master planning project which included revisions to vehicular circulation and parking on campus as well as extensive landscape/site work, the addition of two new regulation-size playing fields and bio-retention areas.
The new Upper School, whose first phase was completed last fall, was built on the site of the existing Upper School and houses 18 classrooms, administrative offices, a conference room, science and computer labs, a greenhouse and art studios. Student support spaces include a study center, a library, student lounges, meeting spaces as well as an outdoor amphitheater.
Located between the newly-built Upper School and the Dining Hall, is the new Theater which acts as the ‘town meeting hall’ for the campus. With 420-seats and related support spaces, the building provides a larger stage with greater performance flexibility than their existing facilities. A band room, an electronic music room and four instrument practice rooms on the lower level support the school’s music curriculum and are easily accessible to the theater and the Upper School.
The building is targeting LEED Gold certification.
