St. Andrew’s Scots School in Buenos Aires plans to consolidate three sites into one new cohesive central campus. The architects completed campus programming and developed a comprehensive master plan.

The campus is designed to accommodate 2,000 K-12 students in a modern environment with harmonious architectural style, and individual visual and architectural identities for each major grade. Vision planning was conducted and resulted in the following guiding principles:

•Create a strong, visual campus that is stimulating, inviting, appealing and metaphorical.

•Create a campus that enhances a modern school identity while remaining respectful of its proud tradition.

•Incorporate a sustainable, eco-friendly design that possesses a positive relationship with nature.

•Design a campus that is welcoming to school and non-school citizens, allowing for multi-sized community events.

•Zone the campus for after-hours use, especially performing-arts and sports facilities.

•Create a plan that includes unobstructed ties between buildings and outdoor spaces, segregation of pedestrians and vehicles, and ease of phased development.

•Provide a clear welcome center.
