Barbers Hill ISD—Barbers Hill Intermediate School North  In 2020, Barbers Hill ISD hired us to design two new intermediate schools, including Barbers Hill Intermediate School North, a two-story facility that accommodates 1,500 students in grades 4–6. One of the bigger challenges set by the district was for both schools to be laid out the same but also to appear different from each other. The solution to the "same but different" design challenge was to develop a theme for each school based on the district’s mascot—the Eagle. |
