Dr. Carla Brosnahan Elementary School in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District has been built on a 16.74-acre site in Harris County, Texas. The main building is divided into sections, including a two-story classroom and a separate one-story administration wing. Each floor consists of core classrooms, science rooms and supporting spaces. The classroom areas provide spaces for regularly occupied pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and grades 1 through 5. Adjacent to the classroom wing is a one-story community area that includes the library and learning stair, art, music, gymnasium, cafeteria and kitchen. Additional site amenities include multiple aluminum walkway canopies, a 1/8-mile concrete walking track, a public park, a paved concrete fire lane, multiple concrete parking lot areas, open grass playing areas, an art and science courtyard, and utilities for up to eight future portable buildings. Brosnahan Elementary is designed to be a CHPS “Verified Building.” The school complies with design guidelines set forth by the 2015 criteria for Texas Collaborative for High Performance Schools.
