Why is it necessary to tear down the Coventry Elementary school? What are the advantages?
In our Master Plan, provided by WRL, it was determined that adaptive reuse of the Coventry Elementary school would be approximately 80-90% of the cost of a rebuild. Building a new structure, dedicated to early childhood education, affords us the opportunity to build spaces that meet or exceed the stringent state requirements for early childhood programming. Additionally, the stringent requirements of the state regarding buildings dedicated to early childhood programs meant that a good portion of the existing building could not be used for these purposes.
