At the center of this project is a reworked interior quad that brings students together. The new two-story classroom building is oriented toward this space, turning it into an active hub for gathering, informal learning, and daily campus life. The design reflects Leadership Public Schools’ focus on collaboration and problem solving. Indoor and outdoor spaces are closely linked, allowing teaching and social spaces to extend beyond the classroom. The quad becomes more than circulation. It works as a flexible setting for both structured and informal use.
Delivered through a design build partnership with Overaa Construction and working within a tight budget, the project focuses on efficiency and adaptability. Space is used carefully to support a wide range of programs without excess. The completed campus includes a gymnasium and multipurpose room, 15 general classrooms, four science labs, a maker space, an art classroom, and administrative areas.
