Michael Shilale
Architects (MSA), created a master plan for
the expansion of the Jesse Kaplan School back
in 2008. After successfully completing an
innovative and cost saving addition of four
classrooms to this building in 2011, we were
selected to design another addition as well as
a therapeutic pool facility.
An
innovative 'floorless' modular technique was
utilized offering many advantages. It allowed
a connection to the existing building and the
exterior without stairs and ramps. It also
minimized the construction time on site,
reducing the impact to the existing program.
Most important to this BOCES are the
financial benefits of a modular project.
Utilizing strategies to create better early
childhood classrooms, such as direct
connections to the exterior, increased
daylight and views, and improved ventilation
and controls -these spaces are the envy of
every teacher.
