Peabody Elementary School

A modernization and expansion of a beloved community school

A compact urban campus in San Francisco’s Inner Richmond neighborhood was transformed around a new “Learning Street” concept shaped in close collaboration with the Peabody school community. The project introduced a new 5,600 SF cafeteria, library, and multipurpose building that acts as the social and academic heart of the campus, creating flexible space for gathering, learning, and daily school life.

Delivered by Meek, Noll & Tam JV Architects, the project also included a full modernization of the existing classroom and administration buildings. Beyond addressing essential facility upgrades, the design reimagined the campus as a more connected and student-centered environment that supports contemporary teaching and learning while strengthening the school’s neighborhood character.
