INGLEWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, NASHVILLE,
TENNESSEE This 600-student replacement facility houses Kindergarten through
5th grade in a 66,962 sq. ft. structure featuring a large playroom/auditorium
space and extensive use of daylighting techniques. Creatively incorporating one
of the most recent wing additions to the original school into the new plan
provided a cost-effective "green" attitude as well as an educational experience
for the students to observe. Design charrette sessions were held with faculty
and students for input and to increase their sense of ownership in the process.
Inspired by a student's sketch, "Eddie's Tower" transformed into a stained glass
window at the Media Center's Reading Room and became the central design
element. Awards.
