This new 112,000 sf school houses 850 students in grades PreK-5. To maintain a small school feel and support the community's educational philosophy which keeps grade levels clustered together, grades PK-2 are housed on the first floor in three academic wings, and grades 3-5 are housed on the second floor. The new "E-shaped" building is connected by a vibrant central circulation spine -- a learning commons that links each academic wing.

Designed to accommodate the unique educational program, the spine contains small group rooms used throughout the day to teach specific skills, as well as teacher workspace, support areas, story nooks, gathering areas, and public core spaces. Between each academic wing and the spine are project areas with flexible space that can be used for collaborative projects. 

Targeted to meet NE-CHPS standards, the high performance design includes flooring made from natural materials, an air quality system that utilizes tempered air as an alternative to air conditioning, triple-glazed windows and an extensive storm water infiltration design.
