Great Seneca Creek Elementary School

Great Seneca Creek is a new 82,500 sf elementary school for 740 students in grades Pre-K through 5 that serves as the pilot Green School project for the school district. In addition to saving over 30% energy and over 40% water consumption, the school celebrates the water cycle by teaching the students and staff about not just the built environment´s impact on the ecosystem, but also an individual person´s impact. The site outfalls to a wetland and the Seneca Creek, providing a constant reminder of the student´s connection with the natural environment. This school is the county´s first LEED Certified school, earning LEED Gold.
