New Hampton School Master Plan

New Hampton School, New Hampton, NH

New Hampton School is an independent, college preparatory school for boarding and day students, grades 9-12 and postgraduate. Jones was asked to conduct a master plan that would address campus circulation, classroom needs, residential resources, athletics, dining, and overall master planning. More detailed investigations of some of these projects resulted in programming studies to breathe new life into the Gordon Nash Library ("GNL") by injecting program, functions, and the culture of the New Hampton School. Similarly, potential new programs for innovation, entrepreneurship, and making could fundamentally reshape the Academic Research Center’s ("ARC") role on campus.

The scope of work includes a programming process with a core team including New Hampton School leadership and librarians, GNL board representation, New Hampton School facilities team, and other key participants. During this process, we developed a matrix of existing program (space type, size, quantity, etc.) and a comparison with a future, speculative proposed program that aligns future growth and program needs. The deliverables for this phase are preferred solutions as plan and section diagrams, a rough order of magnitude cost estimate, phasing and logistics options in diagram form, and renderings representative of the potential solutions that can be used for fundraising purposes.
