College Park Elementary School
College Park Elementary brought 21st century learning to students of Pike Township while addressing changes in the school’s construction funding.
Fanning Howey won an invited design competition with a concept that proposed a first phase comprised of selective renovations and additions, followed by a second phase of new construction. The multi-phase approach allowed the District to build using operating funds, rather than go out for a public referendum. The cost-effective design has brought a new era of learning to College Park with flexible classrooms, integrated technology and plenty of natural light.
