Uplifting academics & the arts

Greenwich Country Day School

A phased expansion for GCDS included a 66,000 square-foot Upper Middle School and a standalone arts wing with a 420-seat, 21,000 square-foot Performing Arts Center (PAC). The PAC is prominently located at the new entrance to the campus and serves as the “town meeting hall” for the school community. The Upper Middle School includes 18 classrooms, science and computer labs, a greenhouse, and a student commons.

The white clapboard exterior of the Upper School aligns with the residential feel of the campus, and the design successfully breaks its large massing down into the GCDS’ small-town vertical scale.

When you see the new Upper School in action, you see how the design of a building can make new moments of learning possible.

The arts wing and PAC connects the arts into the daily learning experience of students with a theater, auditorium, classrooms, digital music studio, and band room.

We planned and designed the GCDS expansion to be built in three phases, an approach that allowed normal school operations to continue without any major disruption.
