The newly consolidated Brunswick Middle School replaces three older middle schools, two of which were previously on the site. The school’s architectural design aligns with the district’s educational vision, fostering a collaborative learning environment with a strong focus on personalized learning. The LEED Silver-certified project has six pods, organized by grade level and connected by a central collaborative area. Each pod has four classrooms dedicated to core curricular subjects: math, language arts, science, and social studies. The central hub houses student dining, a media center, and “Project Lead the Way” STEM classrooms. Additionally, the school boasts two gymnasiums, an auditorium with music rooms, and a connected athletic field and stadium.

Addressing challenges presented by the complex site, the design incorporates a 34-foot vertical grade across three plateaus to accommodate parking, athletics, the school building, and district-wide bus storage and maintenance facilities. A visually striking entry bridge provides a large public entrance and exterior windows for the STEM classrooms. Moreover, it creates a unique exterior plaza that extends the student dining area, offering a collaborative outdoor space.
