Gymnasium Addition and Middle School Expansion
Seven Hills Preparatory Academy outgrew their first home in Bloomington and expanded to a 2nd campus in Richfield on the first floor of an iconic five-story office building. The school kept growing and eventually occupied the entire building.
Doug Feickert designed the conversion of the top two floors, allowing them to expand their offerings to include middle-school students.
While unconventional for a K-8 school, the five-story building with amazing views had everything they needed, except a suitable space for physical education.
Doug also worked with the school to design a 13,000 square foot single story addition that included a full-size gymnasium, a stage, restrooms, changing rooms, P.E. offices and a P.E. classroom. The site includes a new playground, a new bus loading zone, and a heated walkway to connect the gym and the main classroom building.
