“At every turn we have felt that the best interest of Currey Ingram Academy was at the heart of their recommendations.”
– Kathleen Rayburn, Head of School
Currey Ingram Academy is an independent, K-12 college preparatory school in Middle Tennessee for students with average to superior intelligence who have unique learning styles. Currey Ingram’s growth required expanding the campus and building the Lower School, John Rivers Ingram Hall, for the students in grades K-5.
The Parent Company coordinated with the school’s administrative staff to understand times critical to the school operation, such as student pick up and drop off times, as well as dates for special events, like sports events, Grandparents Day, and special testing. The Parent Company conducted monthly meetings with the staff to discuss these times and events to make sure we stayed one step ahead.
- Multiple Projects Ingram Hall began on the heels of the first buildings on the new campus (Eskind Hall and Phase I of the Jan Carell Hall). TPC began foundations while we were still finishing the first two buildings and finalizing the site infrastructure and roadways.
- Active Campus The campus came alive for the first time with teachers, staff and students. Where we had had the entire 83 acres to work without interruption we now had to confine our work area not just in proximity but with respect to noise and campus activities.
