Layout and floor plans for the new Robert Moore School have been finalized following the most recent meeting of the building committee on Dec. 15.
The new Robert Moore School will be roughly 51,000 square feet in size, and be built to accommodate 480 students.
In total, there will be 10 junior/intermediate classrooms, seven primary classrooms, and four Junior/Senior kindergarten classes.
Other rooms will include two computer labs, a special education room, music/stage room, healing/reading room, library, and a 52’ x 90’ gymnasium.
The new school will be built on the same lot as the current one on Second Street East, but at a different location.
Upon completion of the new school, the old one will be demolished.
Since some board staff also are currently located the school, the existing gymnasium will be renovated to accommodate them.
Plans for the new school arose after both Robert Moore and F.H. Huffman were deemed “prohibitive to repair,” meaning it would cost more to repair a school than to rebuild it completely.
Following the F.H. Huffman accommodation review, it was decided Huffman would be consolidated with Robert Moore into one school.
