THE SCOPE OF THE INNOVATION SPACE BUILDING PROJECT
The Benchmark Innovation Space will consist of two main areas, one for Lower School students and one for Middle School students.
The Lower School space

will be located in the area that currently houses the Music Room. The Middle School space

will be constructed
over the current music room
and in the area known as Atterbury Plaza, which is the patio between the Dorrance H. Hamilton Middle School and the A. Palmer West Performing Arts Center.
Phase 1: February 16-28, 2018
The Innovation Space will include the area that encompasses our current Music Room. On February 16, work will begin to transform the Perot Conference Room into a bright, new Music Room. Music Teacher Laurie Veacock has been working closely with the architects to insure that the room will suit the needs of our music education program. She recently commented, "Thank you for all that you're doing to make the new Music Room a great space for the students and for me. I'm genuinely excited!"
The new Music Room will be ready for Laurie and her students by February 28.
Phase 2: March 5-July 31, 2018
On or about March 5, construction will begin on the Lower and Middle School Innovation Spaces. It is scheduled to be completed by the end of July.
September 4, 2018
The Benchmark Innovation Space will be ready for our students by the first day of school!
