The firm consolidated a design that repurposed spaces within the existing structure, incorporated curriculum-centered graphics, and provided the programmatic support for special needs learning. Interactive pictures complement the school curriculum and encourage learning outside the classroom in the hallways and shared areas throughout the school. In support of the school’s mission, the firm constructed the school’s blueprints with ADA upgrades to include: hearing impaired accommodations, American Sign Language necessities, and appropriate classroom sizes equipped with electromagnetic communication detection systems that connect to hearing aids. Further, by incorporating various sustainable technologies and green initiatives, the facility was able to achieve LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
