The New Jersey School Development Authority (NJSDA) and the Garfield School District engaged FVHD Architects-Planners to conduct a feasibility assessment for renovating and expanding the existing Most Holy Name School. After careful consideration of design solutions and preliminary construction cost estimates, the conclusion was reached that the most cost-effective approach would be to demolish the existing building and erect a new K-5 elementary school on the same site.

The newly constructed school is comprehensively equipped to meet modern educational needs, featuring three kindergarten classrooms, ten general classrooms, two special education classrooms, and four small group instruction (SGI) rooms. Additional facilities include a computer room, art and music classrooms, a media center, and a gymnasium, all designed to support a robust core curriculum. The design also integrates an outdoor multi-purpose play area and playground equipment, enhancing the school's recreational facilities.

Key Details:

  • Grade Levels: K-5
  • Student Capacity: 345
  • Building Area: 52,961 square feet
