Bolingbrook High School

The new school utilizes a school-within-a-school concept and is organized into two separate academic houses that contain separate, distributed administrative and student service teams for the students of each house. The academic houses take advantage of site topography by placing the lower floor of the two houses on different floors, thus distributing the students across three, rather than two, levels. Masonry products, horizontal banding, texture and color was carefully detailed and proportioned to make the user feel comfortable and welcome within and around the building. The interior color palette of earth tones was ed to emphasize the environmental components and connection to nature.
