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. |
