Integrated Charter Schools
The team devised a comprehensive program for a four-school complex within this modern 6-story 240,000 sf building; the programming and concept schematics were developed after a series of stakeholder workshops and participatory design sessions led by our team with staff from the Integrated Charter Schools that would be the primary building occupants. The four schools maintain their unique identities while sharing some essential facilities.
