Dellbrook|JKS recently completed construction of the 52,000 gsf Frederick Douglass campus for Alma del Mar Charter Public School. The new building, on Church Street in New Bedford, allows the school to expand its K-8 population. This project sits on a 4-acre site and utilizes pre-engineered metal buildings which provides maximum value and an expedited schedule for the client.

Construction included new classrooms, gymnasium, cafeteria with servery, offices, and support spaces. The MEP equipment is designed and constructed for peak operating efficiency. Exterior work included a parking lot, pickup/drop off area, playground, and outdoor recreational & classroom space. The school uses extensive sound control measures to eliminate ambient city noise. It features environmental graphics that cost effectively enliven the interior spaces of the school while also educating students on the campus’ namesake, Frederick Douglass.
