Pershing Middle School

After a lengthy facilities evaluation and cost-benefit analysis, PGAL recommended full replacement rather than renovation for this one-story school originally constructed in 1948.

Serving 1,700 students and 150 staff members, the school’s goal was to improve student flow and provide a more personalized environment for the student body. Designing classrooms in clusters was just one of PGAL’s strategies for the 18-acre campus.

The 195,336-square-foot, two-story school features 84 classrooms, a state-of-the-art media center, cafeteria, and administration suite. The school also includes a gymnasium, gymnastics facility, weight room, auditorium, running track, and athletic fields.

PGAL also remodeled the natatorium, which was originally constructed in 1948.
