The reverse "L" shape is the restored and renovated existing school. The academic wing connects to the south through the new main entrance and bridge corridor. A priority was to main the mature trees and make wise but attractive selection for the landscape.

Ground level of the renovated structure holds the kindergarten program and mechanical systems. The ground floor of the addition has daylight and exit to the fields and playgrounds to the West.

The main level is on grade with Polk Avenue on the east. This is the main entrance and parent drop off for K1-6. Other programing the main level includes the multi-purpose room, servery, receiving, faculty spaces, and the media center.

Upper level of the school has the specialty classes in the existing brick structure with a the ramp corridor to the addition and third level of academic classrooms and collaboration space.

East Elevation: Old meets new with a clean juxtaposition of modern materials in an historic palette. The addition is a gem that compliments the historicity of the original school.

Working closely with the contractor and subs, the existing structure was disassembled to the brick facade and seismically upgraded and tied into the modern addition.

Stunning views inspire young artists and generous windows provide diffused light in this adapted space from the 1920s structure.

This STEM lab and maker space transformed three original classrooms—now connected with a folding panel door— allowing teachers to combine spaces for group learning.

Bridging the original and modern is accomplished with warm biophilic materials and a cheerful mural celebrating diversity and the colorful seasons.

The color palette is carried throughout the school and used for wayfinding through corridors and to identifing classrooms.

The design of the multipurpose room (used as an auditorium, gym, and cafeteria) breaks norms by including an expansive curtain wall and storefront connecting students to nature.

The warmth of slatted wood softens the proscenium, while a variety of subtle but colorful tones enlivens the space.

Decades come together in a material palette echoing the nearby mountains. Views are captured both east and west, with the three-story academic wing facing the valley.

Playgrounds are supervisable passively from the academic wing classrooms. The volume creates a safe enclosure for grades 1-6, who enter and exit through the central stair.

Transparent classroom sliding doors allow visibility and encourage access to collaboration areas.
