Mountain Bay Elementary School
DC Everest School District
The D.C. Everest’s elementary schools were operating at and above student capacity limits. Classrooms were overcrowded, and the existing elementary schools were aging, needing constant repairs and exceeding operating budgets. The District hired Somerville to review the needs to create a master plan that would solve the overcrowding issues. Our team and the District worked together and determined that a new elementary school was needed, accommodating for the area’s rapidly expanding enrollment.
Somerville aided the D.C. Everest School District successfully pass a referendum that would construct a new elementary school. Early planning meetings with D.C. Everest indicated that they wanted a more traditional school house look complete with a main entrance bell tower for this 4-track, 600-student school. The design incorporated a brick, two-story traditional school aesthetic into a modern learning environment, providing the necessary space and amenities to fulfill the needs of the District into the future.
