Tom McCall Elementary School

BBT redefined its “neighborhood concept” in school design with the completion of this elementary school that needed to fit into a residential area. The one-level school, designed to house 600 K-5th grade students, has four classroom wings each consisting of six classrooms surrounding a central activity space. The wings surround the common core area of the building, which includes a gymnasium, theatrical space, music room, kitchen, media center with computer lab, and administration offices.
