Green Acres Middle School Building

MIDDLE SCHOOL BUILDING

The middle school building was the second of three projects that was built in Phase Three for Green Acres School. It provides ten classrooms of 16 students each for grade 5 and 6, with a “black box" theater and photography studio in the lower level. The central corridor is organized into a series of five octagons, with strong natural light penetrating from above, relieving the tedium of long undifferentiated rooms and suggesting a series of “places” that have different functions encouraging social interaction among the students during the day.
