Burr
Elementary School was featured on this page in November
2002 when it was in the project stage. Skidmore,
Ownings & Merrill's design of the two-story structure
provided generous glazing and irregular courtyards and cut-outs
in the building mass to create a strong relationship to the
15-acre site. In addition to a local stone for the exterior
and other natural materials, the architect's designed a low-energy
curtain wall and incorporated other sustainable methods, furthered
by the school's deadication to sustainable practice. |
