Judson ISD\u2014Escondido Elementary School
\nArchitect: Stantec<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The new elementary school was designed for learners born and raised in the digital age who expect instant access to the world: the iGen student. The compact, two-story floor plan comprises identical hubs infused with vibrant colors and graphics to aid in wayfinding as well as a variety of spaces that extend beyond the classroom to foster collaborative learning environments. The energy efficient design serves as a textbook for the students and community to learn about sustainable practices.<\/p>\n

\"Design\u2014StarDesign<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Color is pervasive throughout the school and helps with both wayfinding and hub identification<\/li>\n
  • The compact 2-story floor plan consists of classroom hubs that are identical and therefore economical to construct<\/li>\n
  • A central axis corridor aids as a connection route through all spaces<\/li>\n
  • The design of the classrooms and flexible spaces reflects the overall theme of technology incorporated throughout the building<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Value<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Cost per square foot of the new school was less than the average elementary school constructed in the area<\/li>\n
    • The school layout consists of six classroom hubs identical in size and finishes, providing for ease of construction<\/li>\n
    • The building responds to the topography of the site, minimizing construction costs<\/li>\n
    • Cost efficient flooring was implemented and showed the benefits of low maintenance material<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Sustainability<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Orienting the building on an east\/west axis reduces solar heat gain while benefiting from the southeasterly prevailing winds<\/li>\n
      • An abundance of north facing glass allows natural daylight to permeate throughout the school and to promote a healthy and engaging learning environment<\/li>\n
      • Low maintenance, durable materials were used on the interior and exterior of the building<\/li>\n
      • Energy efficient systems such as LED lighting and a 4-pipe chiller system help minimize energy and utility costs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Community<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • As with many communities, the new school serves as a central gathering space and quickly fostered a sense of pride in this new community<\/li>\n
        • The selected materials reflect the surrounding neighborhood to fit within the context of the community<\/li>\n
        • The school fosters an environment of collaboration between different grade levels and encourages them to engage, explore, and connect with one another<\/li>\n
        • Building safety and security was a priority for the district and the community<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Technology was integrated throughout the building in all classrooms, flexible spaces, and large group areas<\/li>\n
          • Hub graphics were designed with the intention that the building could be used for future curriculum<\/li>\n
          • Large group spaces were placed on opposite ends of the building to prevent congestion during class switchovers<\/li>\n
          • Following the existing site contours minimized site development costs by drastically reducing cut and fill<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            School Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            • The school is a collection of hubs centralized around a flex space, allowing for flexibility in class sizes and delivery of instruction<\/li>\n
            • Focusing each hub on a different theme, promotes collaboration and discovery through grade level tours that highlight what their peers are learning<\/li>\n
            • Technology in all forms is integrated throughout the school for the new age of learners; iGen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
