image image image

Architect: Vernell Barnes, Architect

Services Provided: Design/Build

Location: Atlanta, GA

Square Footage: 108,849 SF

Owner: DeKalb County Board of Education

Project Description:

The new construction involves two new three-story classroom buildings, one story adminisitration area, science labs, media center, and cafeteria theater area, that are located to the rear of the property. Due to severe slope of the land the three-story structures are virtually invisible from Second Avenue, the front of the school. The exterior of the school is a combination of dry stacked stone and cement board siding. The original building has a membrane roof while the three-story classroom buildings have an attractive asphalt shingle roof. The combination of siding, stacked stone, and asphalt shingles allow for this facility to blend in very nicely with the neighborhood homes. The exterior of the building is further enhanced by the use of a storefront punched window opening. The new school is designed on a residential scale which blends into the neighborhood atmosphere.

The Design/Build project scope involved the demolition of the existing school. The entire facility is new construction.
