The project scope for this Bronx school entails the design and construction of a New Primary School Building for District 8 housing Pre-K though Grade 5 students. The Gross Area is 70,000 SF with a student capacity of 460.
The building’s parti is an efficient 5 story rectangular block at the lower levels that transitions to an “L” shaped configuration at the upper floors.
Piano keys were used to develop a musical and rhythmic theme as a
visual metaphor to organize fenestration and façade materials.
