Laddie Decker Sound Beach School, North Country Road Middle School, Miller Place High School
Services: Facility Master Planning
Location: Miller Place, NY
Located in Suffolk County on Long Island, NY, Miller Place Union Free
School District witnessed an increase in enrollment resulting from
population growth. A building plan to accommodate the growth was
developed, but that plan failed to pass a referendum vote by local
citizens. Overcrowding was interfering with the district's educational
objectives, and a new plan was needed as quickly as possible.
Thomas & Williamson was retained to develop a master plan for the
district. Our team members surveyed the facilities, analyzed the
program requirements and developed conceptual solutions to the
district's facility problems. Working with a citizens advisory group,
T&W developed eight groups of options — each with several
sub-options — to give the district a wide range of possible
solutions.
After months of study and presentations, the district selected one of
our firm's solutions. The selected plan is estimated to cost almost
half as much as the plan previously turned down by the voters. The
district's architect is now in the process of developing schematic
designs for the plan that are scheduled to go before the voters in the
fall of 2002.
Our firm's extensive skills in educational master planning enabled us
to quickly present solutions that met community standards.
