While parking lots may not be the flashiest investment, they will play a critical role in campus safety and efficiency. Well-designed and strategically placed parking areas will reduce congestion, improve traffic flow, and create a safer environment for students, staff, and visitors. Whether it’s during daily drop-off and pick-up, special events, or routine school operations, updated parking infrastructure will help minimize accidents, reduce stress, and enhance the overall experience for everyone on campus. This project will support the growth of the district while prioritizing safety and accessibility.

In the growing Strafford school district, making the most of available land will be critical—and underground detention systems will offer a smart, efficient solution. By placing stormwater detention beneath parking lots, schools will be able to effectively manage runoff while preserving surface space for more visible and impactful uses, such as building expansions, athletic fields, or green spaces. These systems will temporarily store excess rainwater during storms, preventing surface flooding, erosion, and strain on municipal infrastructure. Unlike traditional detention basins, which can take up valuable real estate and often require fencing and maintenance, underground systems will be hidden from view and will not interfere with daily campus operations. This approach will support both environmental responsibility and long- term planning, allowing the district to meet regulatory requirements while keeping its campus attractive, flexible, and future-ready.
