Combining Two Schools Into One
Walter P. Carter and Lois T. Murray Elementary/Middle School
The Walter P. Carter and Lois T. Murray Elementary/Middle School combines the student populations of two existing schools and
co-locates the special needs program of the Lois T. Murray School.
The two co-located school programs have separate distinct entrances that are accessed from a shared plaza space. The wings of the building are organized as classroom blocks that lock into a center section containing destination program elements – cafeteria, gym, media center, and community rooms. This plan organization allows the two school programs to operate independently and to each have their own identity, enables sections of the school to operate independently of one another, and will facilitate the use of the school for community purposes after school hours.
