East Hardin Middle School

The new East Hardin Middle School will be built less than a mile from the existing school it’s replacing. The building was designed to hold 800 students at 108,559 GSF and be two stories tall. The large site allowed for the project to have separate entrances for parent and bus drop off under custom canopies. The exterior of the building uses mixed materials of brick, limestone, fiber cement and metal panels/roofing. The Gym, Cafeteria and Media Center are located together in order to be closed off from the rest of the school during evening/weekend events. The floor plan includes Flex Classrooms throughout that can be used for specialty programs and ever changing curriculum. Special features include an oversized gymnasium, robotics classroom, STEM lab, as well as a “main street” student commons that doubles as the main building corridor.
