The Storm King School

The Storm King School (SKS) is a co-ed college prep boarding school set on a 25-acre campus overlooking the Hudson River. As the school approached its 150th anniversary, the SKS Board sought to secure its future, increase enrollment from 180 to 250 students, and strengthen the integration of its programs and facilities.

Our team was engaged to work closely with school leadership in development of a Master Plan to guide actions over the next several years. Incorporating a facilities survey, which assessed maintenance needs and operational costs, the Master Plan provides a flexible guide to capital projects with a focus on campus safety, security, visual identity and future needs tied to enrollment growth.

The plan outlined a multi-phase approach to modernize facilities and create gathering places, including a new Academic Center and dormitory. Phase 1 involved the conversion of Stone and Ogden Halls into dormitory and classroom spaces, while Phase 2 proposed a new campus center as the school’s “front door” and added an additional dormitory.

Results have included increased enrollment and enhanced campus cohesion.
