The Goffstown School District's new stand-alone kindergarten/preschool building houses ten large classrooms, an administrative area, and mechanical spaces. It was anticipated that the School District would need to convert the building to an elementary school a few years after the kindergarten opened, so we organized the site and building to become the classroom wing around which an elementary core would be arrayed.

The beautiful but challenging site chosen for the school required three driveway stream crossings, and the inclusion of open-bottom box culverts. The intertwining of building with nature has provided the young students with opportunity to learn about forest, stream, and wetland habitats first hand and to witness how they change with the seasons.
