Boley Elementary School
West Monroe, Louisiana
After a devastating fire that resulted in a total loss of the facility in 2019, Boley Elementary School was rebuilt on the existing site in 2022, taking full advantage of a clean slate. Boley’s innovative design creates a safe and stimulating learning environment for over 200 students through colorful windows, slanting walls, and cutting-edge interior finishes. The school is nearly 47,000 square feet with classrooms, a multipurpose room, administration area, library, computer lab and cafeteria. The large support spaces (multipurpose room, library, and cafeteria) were strategically designed facing north to where natural light floods into the spaces without a sharp glare or high heat gain. Acoustical panels were used in these areas to absorb sound while incorporating pops of color. Throughout the school, the rooms are filled with colors to promote the playfulness and positivity that is ideal for elementary school environments. In its first year in the new facility, Boley Elementary School was awarded as a Louisiana Comeback Campus after making significant gains in math and English language arts.
