McCrossan Boys Ranch SCHOOL ADDITION
Project Overview
New Gymnasium, Bright future, Non-Profit
McCrossan Boys Ranch School commissioned designArc Group for a 9,674 sq. ft school addition that features a new main entrance with a reception area, flex space, two conference rooms, a staff lounge, and two classrooms, all connected by a 1-hour fire-rated corridor. Additional spaces within scope include six more classrooms, a small library, dean of students’ office, restrooms, and storage space. This section of the addition connects to the existing cafeteria and guides visitors to the newly added lower-level facilities via a switchback staircase.
The lower level is equipped with a large classroom enclosed by a 2-hour fire-rated barrier, a small office, a 4,270 sq. ft. gymnasium, mechanical space, and storage. Renovations at both ends of the existing building ensure seamless integration of the addition with the original structure, creating a cohesive and efficient environment for students and staff. designArc maintained the aesthetics established by the Visitor’s Center during previous collaboration with McCrossan, ensuring a cohesive architectural style and visual continuity across the campus. This approach preserved the integrity and character of the overall design vision.
