Springfield Public Schools | Bingham Elementary

The new Bingham Elementary School will replace the existing facility with a 68,000-square-foot learning environment designed to serve up to 450 students. The project includes a new school building, playgrounds, and thoughtfully planned site improvements that enhance campus circulation, improve traffic flow, and create clear separation between bus, parent, and staff vehicles.

Organized into academic and community-focused zones, the building balances student learning with flexible shared spaces that support both school and neighborhood engagement. The community wing includes administration, dining, arts, media, and gathering spaces, along with a storm-rated safe room that houses the gymnasium and music room. The academic wing organizes classrooms by grade level to support age-appropriate learning and collaboration among teaching teams.

The design celebrates the identity and history of Bingham Elementary through school-inspired design elements, natural materials, and the integration of existing murals and historical features. The result is a safe, welcoming, and future-focused school that honors the legacy of the Bingham community while supporting generations of learners to come.
