This project included an addition to and a gut renovation of the existing elementary school. The renovated school houses 20 classrooms grouped into intimate learning neighborhoods in addition to a gym, cafeteria, and library/media center housed around a central courtyard. With abundant access to natural light, these neighborhoods are broken down into clusters by individual grade. The design strives to incorporate nuances of color and texture within the built environment to both enhance learning and serve as a means of wayfinding. The design also integrates robust energy efficient systems including a photovoltaic roof panel system, and an overall sustainable approach to optimize the long-term operating costs of the school.
