The genius in the design of this project is in its brilliant simplicity. Natural Gray cmu with a Shotblast texture softens the effect of large fields laid in stack bond, allowing the thoughtful details front stage. Designed to The Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) Verified guidelines, the school incorporates many energy-saving and clever runoff control measures.
