Specializing in K-12 Architecture & Design
From additions and renovations to brand new buildings, the team at Thrasher understands that schools are the heart of the community. We work with you to create spaces that preserve social and intellectual history, while developing new ideas. Our knowledge of funding, along with having a Certified Educational Facilities Planner on staff, give local schools the advantage when working with us. Our designs not only fit the aesthetic of the surroundings but are easily maintained within the current practices of the institutions.
Our specialized K-12 planning and design expertise is reflected in the useful and vibrant learning spaces, which include a STEAM classroom equipped for integrated learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics; an innovative maker space designed for creative and hands-on projects; dedicated classrooms and practice rooms for band and choir, fostering a vibrant arts program; a modern gym that supports various physical activities and sports; a well-designed concessions area for events and gatherings; an advanced science classroom and laboratory for enhanced scientific exploration; a fully-equipped clinic to address student health needs; and a faculty planning room that provides a collaborative space for teachers.
Commitment to the Community
At The Thrasher Group, we tailor each project to the needs of the client and their community. The new Spencer Middle School stands as an example of our dedication to creating educational environments that inspire and support student success while improving function and efficiency for families, staff, and the local school system.
By designing the new building to be directly connected to Roane County High School, it effectively solves numerous logistical issues. The buildings share resources, which streamlines operations and enhances convenience for students and staff alike. Additionally, buses will now be able to make single runs without multiple drop-offs and pickups at various locations, thereby improving transportation efficiency. Middle school students will also benefit from access to the high school academic and athletic facilities.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with educational institutions to build future-ready facilities that meet the evolving needs of communities.
