Wentzville R-IV School District, South Campus ~ Master Plan
Poject DetailsWentzville R-IV School District was in need of another campus to the south to serve the rapidly expanding population. A new middle and high school were planned for the site of an existing elementary school.
The District purchased farmland to the east and north, totaling 100 acres. Site grades varied up to 60 feet in vertical height. Tree groves, ponds, natural drainage ways and limited access were all obstacles to growth and development. Committees were formed to analyze the District’s needs and they toured other campuses. A final program and the latest ideas in school design emerged. Separate locations for the middle and high schools were desired and developed to function completely independent of each other. Separation of students and traffic was of primary importance. Zones for fields, buildings and traffic were created. To eliminate bottlenecks, each campus has a minimum of two ways off the site. Enlarged turning radiuses, parking expansion, and a central point for buses, cars and drop-off are all key features. |
