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