The design of the New Columbia Elementary School is designed so that the two-level building is imbedded in the surrounding topography. The main building level will include the front entrance and administration offices, media center, early childhood wing, and classroom wings for 1st through 3rd grades. This main level will open at grade to the east where the main parking lot, pick-up/drop-off lanes, and Pre-k and kindergarten playgrounds will be located. The lower level will open at grade to the west where the bus drop-off, service drive, utility yard and playfields will be located. This lower building level will contain the kitchen and cafeteria, gymnasium, art and STEM classrooms, and classroom wings for 4th and 5th grades.
