    PROJECT BACKGROUND
     
    In spring 2016, Horace Mann School began the design process for building renovations to ensure its school buildings are able to meet the 21st century learning needs of students.
     
    The renovations encompass a two-story addition of 26,000 square feet to include new classrooms, kitchen, cafeteria and support spaces. It also includes renovation of the existing building, new restrooms, a relocated playground, and updated mechanical and electrical systems.
