Beach Elementary School

The new Beach Elementary School is a replacement building that was constructed on an occupied site while the existing building remained operational. The new building was built on the existing play field areas. Once the new school building was occupied, the existing building was demolished and a new staff parking lot, community play field, and bus loop were constructed. The project presented unique challenges which included a very narrow and constrained site which borders marshland connected to the Chesapeake Bay. It was also extremely important for Oak to ensure the site was safe for students and staff during construction and operation of the existing building.
