Drake Middle School

This addition and renovation project transformed a former junior high school plan to accommodate middle school education specifications. The original geometry and materials inspired contextually appropriate addition designs. The additions include a fully daylit library space. Through an elaborate phasing program, the school was able to maintain its operations despite major renovation of 70% of the facility. The project won the 2004 C.A.R.E. Award: 1st Place for Commercial Architecture.
