COURTESY LINCOLN SCHOOL[/caption] Use: Lincoln School underwent a 4,700-square-foot expansion of its Little School that cost $5 million. The project broke ground in December 2019 and was completed in July 2020. The state-of-the-art facility was designed by studioMLA Architects of Brookline, Mass., and constructed by Deslandes Construction Inc. of Warwick. The addition features two classrooms, a dedicated outdoor play area and a Reggio Emilia-inspired studio. The Reggio Emilia approach consists of a student-centered, self-guided curriculum. The project is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council and has a pending LEED Silver Certification, which means construction included a highly insulated building envelope; an air exchange ventilation system; use of sustainable and recycled materials; energy efficient fixtures; appliances and heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment; renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic systems; and natural landscaping. Lincoln School’s Little School will not have gas or oil systems, meaning it will not be producing any on-site combustion and carbon emissions.
