Memminger Elementary School

In response to seismic evaluations of several downtown schools, Charleston County School District approved work to demolish and replace Memminger Elementary School.  Phased construction included demolishing the existing school before the start of new construction.  The construction of the new building consisted of an approximate 75,000-square-foot elementary school that accommodated 450 students.  The new state-of-the-art facility contains classroom spaces for Grades Pre-K through 5th Grade, a Media Center, Cafeteria, Multipurpose, Computer Labs, and other support spaces for the Memminger Elementary staff and students.  The design for the facility also included features to showcase the school’s Global Studies Curriculum while retaining an architectural balance with the adjacent Memminger Auditorium.
