Building a Bright
Future
The objective of the new campus project
supports Lincoln School's mission:
to provide the best bilingual and
multinational education available
in Central America, in a world-class
facility!.
Complementing Lincoln's tradition
of academic excellence, the new campus
will feature world-class education
facilities including bigger labs, ample parking and spacious
recreation areas and athletic fields.
Construction of buildings will feature
creative and attractive architecture
built to international and USA educational
standards.
The new campus
can be accessed via Autopista Braulio
Carrillo or through Ruta 117 (a road
that connects Autopista Braulio Carrillo
and Los Colegios Norte, Moravia).
Under the supervision of the desing team led by the firm " Franz Sauter and Associates" the construction firm of " Volio & Trejos Asociados " was hired to execute the project.
A major milestone of Lincoln School's New Campus Project was crossed with the completion of the schematic design phase of the project. Presentations were made to parents, students, staff and special guests during the months of November and December of 2004. A very complete and detailed presentation featuring board members, consultants from Franz Sauter & Asociados and Directors from Lincoln School included virtual animations, perspectives, a model, as well as a detailed description of Lincoln School's new facilities.
