Cafeteria & Stage at Denver Montclair International School

The building was a gymnasium and movie theater while the Air Force still owned Lowry. The school had been using the gymnasium but the former stage area had been boarded up and used for storage.

Parking Lot Plan for Denver Montclair International School
We recently updated the proposed parking lot plan for the Denver Montclair International School. Our original design provided 58 spaces (plus 3 accessible spaces), with generous 63’ modules and 32’ aisles.

That space can be used as long as the following items are addressed. First, the code requirements in [...]

Cost Per Square Foot of Educational Facilities by Region

School boards and facility managers of educational instutions always want to know: How much does it cost to build a school? In an effort to [...]
