SP+A Design Team members David Stein, AIA and Kim Delinski, NCIDQ, were proud to join ACES educators, families, and state and town officials for the ribbon-cutting celebration marking the completion of the new ACES Bassett Road School in North Haven after more than four years of planning, design, and construction.
ACES identified the need to redevelop the Bassett Road campus after evaluating two nearby special education programs serving students from preschool through age 22 with physical, emotional, health, and developmental challenges. While the existing building was structurally sound, it lacked the specialized instructional spaces, therapy rooms, recreation areas, parking, and circulation systems needed to support modern special education programming.
As Dr. Thomas Danehy, Executive Director of ACES, noted during the celebration, “Silver/Petrucelli's ability to turn specialized educational and therapeutic needs into a beautiful, functional reality was masterful.”
For SP+A, it has been an honor to partner with ACES throughout this transformational project and help create a space where every student deserves an opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
