Belvidere Elementary School
Belvidere, Illinois

Architect:

Armstrong, Torseth, Skold & Rydeen, Inc.

The new Belvidere Elementary School is designed around a central Flexible Team Learning Area (FTLA) for group and individual learning.  The Learning Area is organized around a central media center/library.  

This two story structure is constructed of masonry and structural steel.  It includes five kindergartens, 35 classrooms, special education classrooms, art room and music rooms.  The gymnasium includes a full size basketball court and cafeteria with extra seating, which will double as a student performance area. 

This school shares the 120 acre site with the new High School project, which is being constructed by Sollitt.  The Elementary School also includes roadways, parking, parent drop off and pick up with a separate bus area.  The separate bus area can be gated off and used during the school day for hard surface play.  The site includes two playground areas allowing the separation of grade levels, two athletic fields for soccer, softball, physical education and play. 

The school is built of durable and energy efficient materials, including brick and concrete masonry units, high quality roof insulation, insulated high performance glass windows, and a computer controlled heating and cooling system.  The building has an automatic fire sprinkler system throughout and security entry system connected to the administration office.  This school opened on time within a one year completion schedule.
