For eight years, the Warrior Run School District worked to realize its vision for a new elementary school on the district’s main campus. The new Warrior Run Elementary School provides a learning environment where students can thrive that will serve the community for generations.

A theme of the school is to put “learning on display.” At its core is a two-story skylighted lobby that provides abundant natural light and fosters a sense of community. Overlooking the lobby is a learning stair and small group areas for student collaboration. All classrooms have windows to the corridor. The art and STEM rooms boast folding glass walls that can open up to create a shared work area for flexible learning.

To meet the district’s goals for site development, the location for the new school included a 45-foot elevation change across the site. The solution is a three-story school that steps with the slope and provides direct site access from all floors, including a bridge to an outdoor learning plaza from the third floor.
