Lopez Salas Architects provided architectural design services for a new 2-story 32,600 square foot addition that included a glass enclosed entry vestibule, 21 general purpose classrooms with adjoining restrooms, 2 Music rooms, 4 Teacher resource areas (bookroom, workroom and 2 teacher conference rooms. A covered walkway from the new addition to the Academic building was included. The building utilizes low maintenance materials while providing the campus with a new and bold direction. The cobalt blue glazed brick wall acts as a bold design feature while functioning as a sun shade to protect the glass atrium lobby from the west sun. The blue wall also creates a backdrop to the red cylindrical element that houses the elevator shaft.
