Jackson-Keller Elementary
Client: North East ISD
Location: San Antonio, Texas
Type: Addition
Size: 54,295 GSF
As part of the 2007 Capital Improvement Bond program, LSA provided architectural design services for a two-story addition to the elementary School. The additions included 27 new classrooms, 2 music classrooms, administrative offices, teacher’s resource center, conference and support areas, bookrooms, storage, a playground area, and an adjoining 5,700 square foot gymnasium. Additions included a new front entrance and building canopies, as well as the construction of a new parking lot and parent drop-off and pick-up loop to ease traffic flow. The building design allowed the introduction of a new vocabulary for the property while maintaining the use of the original masonry. The connections between the two buildings were designed to allow outdoor teaching areas within a landscaped meandering path.
