This project involved replacing a small K-5 school to accommodate 650 students and finding an appropriate architectural form within an older, established neighborhood. The total square footage of the new school is 76,500 sf. The owner had an extensive program that needed to fit on a very tight site. To provide for each program component, we designed a straightforward, stacked building that reduced costs from the onset and was designed to meet CHPS Standards. The program included a new garden and outdoor ecology learning center balanced with outdoor dining, play areas, and an all-weather turf field.
