Collins Garden Elementary
Latest Bond 2020 Updates

The Collins Garden Elementary Project Advisory Team, or PAT, comprised of members of the school community, met on May 19, 2021 for an introduction to the Bond 2020 project. Representatives from the architecture firm, Kirksey, were on hand to get to know the PAT members and to kick off the conversation around what the project will look like when it is complete. The project will focus on creating a new Collins Garden campus, with attention to the historic nature of the school. Kirksey staff members are eager to incorporate ideas from the students and create a learning opportunity for them as they will be able to see the process unfold before them. "Students have the best ideas," they said, as they look forward to hearing ideas from the actual users of the space.

More will be discussed as the project gets underway.
