 Located on a site with steeply sloping banks and wetlands this elementary school serves 374 students in grades PreK-5 with an International Baccalaureate (IB) program. The Town’s goal was to attract an intra-district magnet school population interested in the research and evidence-based IB learning model. TSKP STUDIO’s design is based on a respect for the natural environment and a belief design has the ability to shape the learning experience and contribute to the IB learning model. In keeping with granite boulders protruding around the site, the building is clad in stone-colored cast stone and natural zinc metal panels. The two-story school is located along a steep slope with building walls contoured to follow the sinuous curves of the sloping banks. A pedestrian bridge brings students into the building at the main level where activity in the cafeteria, learning commons, and gymnasium can be observed.

The centrally located learning commons is equipped with flexible furnishings and adaptable technological infrastructure allowing for multiple zones of learning to happen simultaneously. There is a large group instruction area, with seating for 60 students, small group collaborative areas, independent study areas, an innovation maker space with a green screen, and lego wall, and a small tiered “read aloud” story corner. The gymnatorium, which features a traverse-style climbing wall and ADA-accessible stage, is sized to seat the entire student body, faculty, and staff.

Photo-voltaic array consisting of seventy-two 200W panels mounted to the roof of the building; rapidly renewable materials: linoleum flooring, wall covering, tackable surfaces; compact building footprint; rainwater harvesting; and high-performance thermal envelope/glazing with low-E coatings.
