Potter Gray Elementary School Addition & Renovation

before >

The Bowling Green Independent Schools had several goals for the renovation and addition of Potter Gray Elementary School. Originally built in 1959, the schoolâ€™s windows and HVAC system were in need of replacement, and its growing student body was quickly running out of space to expand.

An addition was designed to provide several badly needed spaces for the school. A new kitchen/cafeteria with an outdoor seating area was added across the front of the building. Four new classrooms to accommodate art, music, FMD and general instruction were also added. A new canopy spanning the front of the building was designed to provide a bus canopy and clearly identify the buildingâ€™s entrance. Together with the new cafeteria facade, the canopy provided the school with brand new identity and greatly enhanced the image it projects to the community.

Concurrent with work on the addition, all of the buildingâ€™s windows and HVAC system were replaced, and a new floor was installed in the existing gymnasium. Outside the building, several site modifications were made to resolve circulation issues, separate bus and parent traffic, and expand parking.
