Quinton Elementary is a cherished symbol of community pride that was built to accommodate new and future enrollment in New Kent County.
Through engagement with program department chairs, teachers, and staff, the design team conducted comprehensive assessments to identify priorities, strengths, and areas for improvement in the existing educational framework.

Deviating from traditional elementary school designs, the facility has a middle school-sized gymnasium, used year-round. The school houses a dedicated office for the New Kent Parks and Recreation Department, and the department’s summer programs use the public areas of the building.

Quinton Elementary prioritizes color and functionality. Careful thought went into selecting colors and materials for this project. The process started with giving each grade level a specific color, and the color scheme extends from the grade wings to communal areas, symbolizing unity among the diverse student body.

Within the academic wings, students have access to extended learning spaces that cater to diverse learning styles and activities. They provide a supportive environment for individual study and group projects with passive supervision from teachers and staff.
