1. Wiseburn USD & Da Vinci Schools
El Segundo, California LEED Silver
Wiseburn and Da Vinci Schools sought to create a novel 21st century learning environment on a modest budget by transforming the secretive office space of a
U.S. military contractor into a hyper-adaptable, four-story public high school. The highly flexible design of the educational facility creates a high level of
transparency and interconnectivity that supports a dynamic balance of student independence, collaboration and teacher oversight.

2. Wiseburn USD & Da Vinci Schools
El Segundo, California LEED Silver
The new facade creates a uniform identify for three independent schools within the structure and establishes terrace spaces for indoor-outdoor access on
elevated levels. Instead of hallways of fixed classrooms, the airy interiors flow, with neighborhoods of teaching spaces organized around hubs of vibrant
collaboration that supports flexible project-based and STEM curriculum. Inspired by R&D workspaces, the design team created an analogous scholastic
environment where nothing feels too precious, walls can be written on, spaces can be hacked, and a sense of joy and open possibility pervades.

3. Los Altos High School Classrooms
Los Altos, California LEED Gold
Due to a projected increase in student enrollment, the District allocated bond funds to build a new sustainably designed classroom complex at Los Altos High
School. The new two-story building comprises a series of interlocking elements: two classroom wings connected by walkways, a single-story utility wing, and
exterior areas such as courtyards and second-floor overlooks for public congregation. These disparate elements are tied together by a series of circulation spaces
and a multicolored skin of aluminum panels, which weaves around the building masses and rises up to punctuate the structure at the elevator tower.

4. Los Altos High School Classrooms
Los Altos, California LEED Gold
In order to achieve a LEED Gold rating, the project team employed strategies that include reducing energy and water consumption, specifying recycled or
sustainably farmed materials, providing access to alternative, greener modes of transportation, orienting the building masses to maximize daylighting and
views, creating bioswales for capturing and treating runoff and drought-tolerant landscaping, installing rooftop photovoltaic panels to contribute to on-site
renewable energy, and selecting thermal and acoustical envelope materials to produce an optimal learning environment.

7. DC Prep Anacostia Elementary Campus
Washington, D.C.
The school purchased the existing historic structure and expanded from each side to meet its operational demands. Roughly 90 percent of the existing structure
was reused—to minimize cost, to respect and pay homage to the historic school which preceded it, and to reduce the material demand on construction
interventions. LEED Gold

green roof, a playground and site work. Stanton is a D.C. public school managed by Brailsford & Dunlavey, designed by Little Diversified and built by Turner
Construction.

13. Watkins Elementary School
Washington, D.C. LEED Gold
Watkins Elementary School is part of the Capitol Hill Cluster, a unique public school with three campuses in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. While this project
began as a phased modernization of the existing 1960s building, it evolved into a more ambitious transformation to create a sustainable, child-centered 21st
century learning environment. Through a collaborative, community-based process, the design realized the hopes and aspirations of the students, teachers,
parents and administrators for a flexible, exciting and sustainable learning environment that would become the centerpiece of their Capitol Hill neighborhood.

14. Watkins Elementary School
Washington, D.C. LEED Gold
Integrating the 1960s building into the community required two major interventions. The first was the integration of the school with the adjacent recreation
center and heavily used public park. Second, the school’s existing multipurpose room (MPR) and front door, while in concept prominently sited just off
Pennsylvania Avenue, were both in actuality hidden from view. By demolishing and replacing the MPR, the new addition could enhance the civic presence of the
school and provide a seamless connection to the park for the students, while also visually opening the building up to the community using the field after hours.

15. Sunset Ridge School
Northfield, Illinois LEED Platinum
The facility uses solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays on the entire roof of this school. The amount of PV array is designed to provide 100 percent of the total KW
demand for the facility. Dynamic glass covers almost half the building and darkens with increased sun exposure, to reduce solar heat gain and glare.

Incorporating quality daylighting was a primary focus of the team, even in spaces that are not traditionally daylit. The gymnasium features energy-efficient LED
overhead lights to complement natural lighting. An acoustical treatment of perforated masonry units helps to control noise as coaches run practice and as
spectators cheer on their basketball teams.

Clerestory windows provide abundant daylight in the library while avoiding glare issues that could be distracting during study periods. LED lighting is partially
powered by a roof-mounted PV array capable of providing 3.25 percent (by cost) of the school’s annual electricity demand. As a phased renovation, measures
were taken throughout construction to protect the health of students in the occupied portions of the school, including temporary partitions and high ventilation
rates.

The original building was built of durable cast-in-place concrete, and its arrangement lent itself to being modernized for certain programmed areas, while the
new addition areas would be for the library, office and typical classroom spaces. The existing portion of the building included the cafetorium, gym, and special
classrooms. The location was recognizable and memorable to the community while also being located in an active and walkable residential neighborhood.
