Fresno Unified School District
Fresno, California

The site is located in southeast Fresno and presented an interesting challenge:  to fit an 850-student elementary school on an 8-acres plot of in-fill land. The design result respects the existing elements of the office and apartment buildings to the west of the site.

The two story classroom building houses 28 classrooms including Kindergartens and a preschool, library, computer lab, and administrative functions.  The multi-use building includes a serving kitchen, Parent Club room, student store and teacher’s lounge. The area behind the building features a raised stage for an amphitheater.
