GROUND FLOOR
Ground Floor Area Use:
The building that exists at 285 East Queen Street has a long and storied history.
The land, reserved by Benjamin Chambersthe founder of Chambersburgfor
educational purposes was initially established as the private Chambersburg
Academy in 1797. As the community and education of Chambersburg grew and
changed, the need for a public high school led the Chambersburg Area School
District to acquire the site and open Chambersburg Area High School in 1910.
The building underwent huge growth in 1929 when the city of Chambersburg
and the Chambersburg Area School District decided to make additions to the
existing building, increasing the size and creating Chambersburg High School.
But as years passed, even additions to the building to could not accommodate
the growing number of high school students, and by 1957 a new high school
had been built and the building was reclassified as Central Junior High School.
The junior high remained open until 1986, when the building was shuttered.
Though the doors of Central have been closed for nearly 30 years, McKissick
Associates has a vision to bring life back to this once vibrant location. Through
adaptive reuse, this former school building will be restored and reconfigured to
become loft-style apartments, educational facilities and modern office spaces.
Additionally the site will be revitalized using green and ecologically friendly
practices under the standards of Green Globes. By the completion of the
redevelopment, Centrals grounds will include a 5000 square foot green roof,
eco-friendly water usage throughout the buildings and be brought up to modern
architectural standards using sustainable materials.
