John Eaton Elementary School

GCS-SIGAL completed the renovation and expansion of John Eaton Elementary School. Originally founded with just 20 students in the early 1900s, the school has grown into a diverse learning community of nearly 500 students. The project scope included a new multi-purpose room, cafeteria, gym, auditorium, library, commons spaces, small group rooms, resource rooms, and classrooms, as well as creative outdoor spaces.

International culture is celebrated throughout the building, with floors featuring continental landmasses, world language scripts, physical geography maps, and international-themed art installations. Construction was performed on a tight job site, with careful attention to preserving historic features as well as exterior spaces deemed by the school as “precious for outdoor play and learning.”
