project description:

The renovation of two existing connected industrial buildings to house three small Charter Schools, two grade schools and one high school. The competition participants were charged with creating a design that established a strong connection between the school and the surrounding community.
 

design solutions:

Architrave proposed demolishing the smaller, less workable building and erecting a new multilevel structure to accommodate the larger programs, aid in accessibility, and create readily adaptable space for both the community and the school population.
