Unicoi Middle School

A new middle school for Unicoi County Schools was required in order to move the eighth grade out of the high school and to relieve crowding at the elementary schools. BLS T&L programmed and designed the new school with respect to an adjacent residential neighborhood. The final design provides an appropriate sense of scale in relationship to nearby homes.

The 800 student school contains a pre-school component of five classrooms, an 800 seat gymnasium, art room, band room, chorus room, science and computer labs. The academic areas of the school are accessible to common use areas, with a gymnasium that can be utilized in the evenings after regular school hours. The building was designed to be durable, maintainable and energy efficient. BLS  T&L provided contract administration on the project, and worked closely with the owner and contractor on scheduling, to insure that the project stayed on schedule and in budget.
