This project provided the design of a new elementary school for 1,092 students and the master planning of a 10-acre site that included recreational fields and parking, which serve the community along with an enhanced hurricane protection area (EHPA) housed in the multipurpose and dining rooms.
This 112,000-square-foot facility provides a straightforward, yet dynamic and fun environment for students and staff. The classrooms, administrative offices, media center, music, art, skills labs and multipurpose/dining rooms are organized along a two-story corridor that guides students throughout the various areas and serves as a gallery to display their work.
The covered walkways and courtyard enable students to move throughout the school campus and gather safely within the school confines while interacting with the exterior, and staff can supervise all areas. The students have the use of play areas; a large, covered P.E. shelter; and game and basketball courts. Recreational fields include softball, baseball and soccer fields, offering students a superior athletic experience.
