Benton Hall Elementary School Site Improvements

Situated on a steep hillside in the heart of Little Falls, Benton Hall Academy is a beautiful, historic school. The master plan proposes a series of stairs and plazas that will make some of the main walkways and gathering areas safer, more accessible and much more functional. There will now be a natural connection between the school, playground and park where students can visit with each other, sit down for an outdoor lesson, or wait for their parents.

The master plan for Little Falls High School/Middle School proposes the addition of a dedicated bus loop with separate parent drop-off lanes in order to help separate cars and buses from one another, making the school much safer. Entries were also enhanced help identify the main entries while improving safety, appearance and functionality.
