Project Objectives

Site:

• Civic identity and welcoming presence
• Shared arrival experience for pedestrians, cars, and buses
• Enhanced visibility from administration offices to the parking lot and the bus loop
• Building mass aligned with street
• Compact footprint providing more space for play spaces and courts
• Loading and service screened from the street view
• Landscaped buffer between the community and school

Building:

• Safety and security
  • Secure classrooms separately from civic program elements (Gym, Multi-purpose, Library, Admin)
  • Media Center on the ground floor allows the civic elements to be grouped more efficiently for after hours use
• Natural light
  • Maximizes access to daylight for all educational spaces and full time offices
  • Media Center on the ground floor allows for high ceilings and the ability to share light to the corridor
• Enhanced use of the courtyard
  • Locating Art, Dual Purpose and Media Center adjacent to the courtyard allows for direct access to outdoor learning opportunities
• Efficient, clear circulation
  • Consolidated classroom wing provides simple circulation with visibility throughout corridors and efficient vertical circulation
