The Twin Rivers Charter School campus is an innovative learning environment that is a replicable model of sustainability. The two buildings are single-story iterations of our net-zero energy school prototype, utilizing a pre-engineered structural system and incorporating innovative and sustainable strategies. Two independent structural systems (a pre-engineered metal building shell, and reconfigurable, non-structural interior walls) create a flexible building, able to support a variety of spaces; and adaptable to future changes in program, size, pedagogy, technology, and operations. Steel was chosen as the primary building material for its high recycled content and potential for future recycling.
The best schools inspire their students to excel. As architects, we strive to design to the same level of excellence, and to create healthy and sustainable schools that are tools for teaching and better learning.
