Maurice Wolfe Elementary School

Client: Katy Independent School District
Market: K-12 Education
Discipline: Architecture + Interiors
Project Area: 95,600 sq. ft.
Awards:
TASA/TASB Awards for Architectural Excellence: Innovation, Educational Appropriateness, Design

The sleek, futuristic exterior of this replacement campus echoes the architecture of its surrounding corporate neighbors in Houston’s Energy Corridor. Throughout the building, the low cost, high performance and “green” design concepts positively affect not only people and learning spaces, but the school’s operations and environmental footprint.

The new building is designed using CHPS design criteria (Collaborative for High Performance Schools) for student performance and energy-efficient teaching spaces. Throughout the building, light is captured by strategically placed windows and skylights, and all classrooms are supplied with natural daylight. This reduces the need for artificial lighting and results in both environmental and instructional benefits.

The interior of the facility reflects energy themes, each of which is related to a specific grade level. Vibrant, energy-centric graphics in the main street corridor are echoed in each of the grade-level clusters and collaborative spaces.
