Houston ISD—Mickey Leland College Preparatory Academy for Young Men
The design took into consideration the site’s proximity to the main spine of the neighborhood, while maintaining the school’s identity through material selection, visual and pedestrian connections. Original building pieces and artifacts were incorporated into the design. Modern trespa was used to place emphasis on and showcase the robotics classrooms, while masonry and decorative metal panels were employed in a manner respecting the historical buildings once on the site and in the neighborhood. |
