This project was distinctively designed for a small parcel inside densely populated landlocked urban communities.

Client:Fresno Unified School District
Market:K-12 Education
Discipline:Architecture + Interiors
Project Area:65,700 sq. ft.

The two-story main building houses 31 classrooms and 4 kindergarten rooms. The first floor also houses a library, administrative offices, and a central interior corridor runs throughout the building for easy monitoring and security. The high domed translucent skylight makes the entrance feel open and spacious.

Adjacent to the classroom structure is the multi-use building, which includes a serving kitchen, teachers’ lounge, office for the plant and food coordinators and full stage. The area behind the building features a raised outdoor stage and an amphitheater.
