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.
Program: A 14,000-square-foot campus addition with seven classrooms, a library, and a lobby for an adjacent gymnasium.
Design concept and solution: The architects took advantage of the school’s bayside location: naturally ventilated and cooled classrooms are a sustainable part of the building. The simple concrete minimalist design reflects the original campus building, which was constructed in 1934. Radiant floor heating, photovoltaic panels, highly insulated concrete forms, interior insulation composed of recycled blue jeans, cradle-to-cradle window roller shades, and low-VOC interiors were incorporated as part of the schools efforts to obtain LEED platinum certification.
Gross square footage: 14,000 sq.ft.
Total construction cost: $6.5 million
