Addition & Renovation
The Hopkins School is currently unable to house two grades. According to a study conducted by Perkins Eastman, the current configuration can accommodate 628 students using the following spaces: 24 original classrooms and 4 modular classrooms (at 22 students) and 1 special needs room at 12 students = 628 students.
The current enrollment is 688 students and is projected to reach 802 students.
The addition will include a new regulation size gym space, 10 general and 2 special education classrooms, and increased parking. It will also include relocation of the new modular classrooms from the Elmwood School at the project completion. There will also be levels of renovation in the existing building, as required by code.
