Pillar Falls Elementary School
Twin Falls, Idaho
This two-story elementary school houses 650 students in grades K to 5. The building sits on a 10-acre site and has classrooms, a media center, gymnasium, cafeteria, student commons, computer labs, a special-needs suite and an administrative area. The site also includes a bus loop, student drop-off, play areas, and softball and soccer fields. Unlike its sister school in the district, this facility has an area suited for a preschool.
Among the key concepts incorporated into the project are an extensive parent drop-off area, separate visitor parking and bus loop, direct supervision throughout the site by minimal staff, durable and low-maintenance materials, daylight in the teaching spaces, robust technology throughout, flexibility in classrooms, and separation of classrooms by grade, with control points for lockdown of the facility.
