Woodland Elementary Schools

PROFILE: Woodland School is located on a 21-acre site and has a total building capacity of 980 students. Designed with separate entrances, the elementary and intermediate areas are divided by common spaces, such as the cafeteria, library, offices and gymnasium. The gymnasium, over 13,000 sq. ft., features two full-size basketball courts and seating for 790. The cafeteria, which seats 490 at lunch, holds a capacity of approximately 600 for presentations.

TPM: Hoffman assisted with referendum promotion, planning, design, and construction of the new school, which features many sustainable building solutions, without increased cost. To maximize daylighting, high performance glass was strategically placed throughout the facility. High efficiency lighting, with daylighting sensors, provides diminished artificial light when adequate daylight is present. Waterless urinals and low flow plumbing fixtures reduce water consumption. To minimize the impact on the environment and increase indoor air quality, low-emitting materials were used. Additional sustainable features include extensive use of recycled building materials, improved insulation, glass and other environmentally responsible materials, and a mechanical system that features high efficiency boilers and motors. The district can expect reduced operational costs and
a healthier building for their faculty and students.
