Architects (MSA), an expert in educational
spaces and environments for individuals with
special needs, was a perfect match for this
project that needed space quickly.
Utilizing strategies to create better early
childhood classrooms, such as direct
connections to the exterior, increased
daylight and views, and improved ventilation
and controls -these spaces are the envy of
every teacher.
An innovative
'floorless' modular technique was utilized
offering many advantages. It allowed for
slab on grade construction and a connection to
the existing building and the exterior without
stairs and ramps. It also minimized the
construction time on site, reducing the impact
to the existing program.
Building geometry, overhangs, minimizing east
and west glazing, as well as individual
controls and zoning will improve indoor
comfort and save energy |
