Waynflete proposes $12M renovation and expansion
A private prep school in Portland’s historic West End neighborhood is proposing a $12 million renovation and expansion project to its 118-year-old campus.
As part of its proposal, a section of Waynflete School’s Lower School, which houses classrooms from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade, would be demolished to facilitate a doubling of the footprint of the early education instructional space from 20,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet.
Also as part of its proposal, Waynflete would demolish a 9,300-square-foot gymnasium that was constructed in the 1970s and replace it with a new 13,600-square-foot facility according to the Portland Press Herald.
“This would be the largest construction and renovation project in the school’s history,” Geoffrey Wagg, head of school, told the Press Herald.
The prep school’s expansion and renovation proposal will go before the Portland Planning Board in the coming months and construction would begin in June 2017 if approved.
