The addition features a new media center, multi-purpose room, administrative spaces, and classrooms for pre-K, music, art, and science. An underground garage was designed to accommodate 63 parking spaces. Janney Elementary School received the 2012 Outstanding Design award by American School & University magazine and was featured in the 2012 Architectural Portfolio.
