Building additions are an alternative to building a new school. An addition can add several hundred needed classroom seats or enhance facility usage by including auditoriums, gymnasiums, or cafeterias. The benefits of building additions are the cost savings compared to building a new school, and much of the work can be completed without disrupting classroom activity.
