TOLLGATE ELEMENTARY REMODEL
Preliminary planning work continues on the whole building remodel at Tollgate Elementary School in Aurora, CO. The district recently decided that the project will pursue high performance certification under the Colorado version of the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CO-CHPS) program. CO-CHPS is similar to LEED certification, but the performance standards are specifically written to meet the needs and challenges of school buildings. Once registered, the project wilL be the third project in Colorado to pursue CHPS certification and the only remodel/addition project to seek certification, making it a very high profile project.
The design process will follow an integrated design approach and will include system wide holistic building thinking. Advanced daylight and energy modeling studies are being conducted to inform design decisions for the 20,000 SF of additional space being added to the building as well as major changes to the 48,000 SF existing building. Once completed, the revitalized Tollgate building will feature 21st Century learning environments and truly support the Expeditionary Learning educational delivery model that the school is known for. To align with educational goals, the building will feature six learning communities and will include outdoor teaching areas such as learning gardens and an amphitheater.
