North Gresham Elementary School
BBT worked closely with a design team comprised of community members, administrators, and staff in developing a strong vision and guiding principles that were kept at the forefront throughout the design process. Unique to this project was a focus on dynamic circulation that offered students a variety of pathways not only between spaces but in the journey of their education. The school also invokes a sense of pride by promoting the theme of the constellations and the North Star by clustering spaces and creating intersections of activity. The entire school can be used as a teaching space through the adaptable and flexible variety of areas that can transform according to their use.
The resulting new elementary school increases educational and operational efficiencies, promote safety and security, and provide innovative learning environments to accommodate a growing student body.
