West Lincoln Elementary School

Lincoln, NE | 2017
14,160 sq. ft. Addition

CWP partnered with Lincoln Public Schools on the addition and renovation of West Lincoln Elementary School. Originally built in 1956 with multiple additions over the years, the open floor plan had become overcrowded and posed security and classroom distraction challenges.

The new addition includes eight classrooms, mechanical space, restrooms, and a coat room. CWP also expanded the main entrance to create a secure vestibule with a permanent security checkpoint and key card access. Privacy and safety were enhanced by enclosing open classrooms and creating defined access corridors. Circulation was improved by rerouting traffic away from the media center and enclosing the open library space.
