Hannah Marie Brown Elementary School is a prototypical design adapted and scaled to the needs of each community. Of primary concern in the design of the prototype was creating a welcoming environment with a focus on visibility and safety for staff and students, as well as providing a dynamic place for learning. 

​

The 90,371 square foot school was designed to serve a 720-student population, and is composed of a 62,345 square foot first floor with special programs, administration offices, multi-purpose room, kindergarten and maintenance areas. The heart of the school is the library. This two-story, light-filled volume engages the 28,026 square foot second story which is composed of secondary grade level classrooms.

​

With each site adaptation, pedestrian safety, clear vehicular and bus circulation drive the adaptation of the cruciform plan to the site. Student drop-off, bus drop-off and staff/administration parking are separated to reduce congestion and enhance traffic flow.
