The proposal would fill a parcel the school purchased in 2006 next to Stanwood Hall, currently occupied by a play area. New construction would span four floors, with two above grade, one partially above grade, and one basement floor. The plans also include improvements to the lowest level of Stanwood Hall to upgrade existing classrooms, restrooms, an upgrade to the culinary staff facilities, and a new entry door.<\/p>\n

The proposed 39-foot-tall Type II-B structure would add about 8,140 square feet to the campus, bringing total site capacity to 78,840 square feet. Parking would accommodate 25 bicycles and 12 cars, a reduction of two spaces. The structure will include the bike room, art rooms, a maker\u2019s studio, two multipurpose rooms, and classrooms.<\/p>\n

The Hamlin School is a private K-8 girls\u2019 school, founded in the late 1890s, and currently occupying three buildings between Broadway and Vallejo Street. The institution recently underwent a full-campus renovation led by Mark Cavagnero Associates. Completed in 2022, the master planned upgrades focused on facility improvements and seismic upgrades to the 1960s-built McKinne Hall. The overall plan involved \u201cenlarging classrooms, connecting the lower and upper school science rooms, expanding the gymnasium to meet athletic size regulations, creating a separate multipurpose room for performing arts, and simplifying the overall campus circulation to better unite the buildings and the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
