Alpine Academy Middle School

Alpine Academy Charter School is a design-build project for a new public charter school. Big-D lead the effort with Hummel Architects as the design manager. The school is a two-story, steel framed building with an exterior that features ground-face CMU and a mix of varied metal panels.

Teaching spaces inside the school include traditional classrooms, art and science rooms, a computer classroom, media center, alternative learning space, and a music/drama classroom. Other areas include the school’s main office with reception, admin offices, nurse’s office, and boardroom; a teacher’s workroom, cafeteria/multi-purpose room, fitness/gym classroom, student locker rooms, and a warming kitchen.

Big-D was extraordinarily effective with cost control and development of value engineering options to keep the project within the established budget.
