A new building gives focus to a private school's campus.
Located on the heavily landscaped campus of a private K-12 school, the Klein Campus Center provides a new focal point for the school. Designed by Dattner Architects, the two-story building is integrated into the campus fabric to define the central campus quadrangle. The center is connected directly to Schenk Hall, which houses the main auditorium and cafeteria, and Leggitt Hall, which houses classrooms and offices.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
The heart of the building holds a 220-seat multi-purpose space, which shares back-of-house rehearsal and workshop spaces with Schenk Hall’s 450-seat auditorium, transforming the two buildings into one unified performing arts complex.
Public circulation spaces are designed to facilitate student interaction and accommodate large groups during events. Facing the interior of the campus, a glazed "street" runs the length of the building on both floors, providing circulation, student locker spaces as well as study and seating niches overlooking the quadrangle. Classrooms, music rehearsal spaces, administrative spaces and an expanded cafeteria are located on the more public side of the building, facing the campus.
