This new middle school prototype was constructed adjacent to one of Elkhorn Public Schools’ new elementary schools. To limit the footprint of the building and maximize the efficiency of the site, a two-story design was used. Two wings, each with two stacked pods, were provided to support sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, as well as a pod for exploratory classes including art, industrial technology, and family & consumer science.

The exterior of the building was developed as a representation of the history and growth of education. Historical development of education is represented by the strong, rustic textured base of the building rendered in monumental rock face concrete masonry. This base supports a brick layer that embodies traditional school construction with a contemporary dark finished brick. Above the brick is an insulated metal panel skin that represents the future of education. This progression is similar to the development that students undergo within the school building, where they will further develop a solid educational foundation that will support their future endeavors.
