This new elementary school design is based on solar orientation for enhanced daylighting potential in the two-story academic portion of the building. This orientation results in a strong street presence for visitors, and the 900 students attending the school will enjoy a playful combination of two different colors of glass. This high performance facility has been certified with the US Green Building Council as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver building.
