About this Project
Replacing the former Harper Elementary, the new William Rainey Harper School was shaped by community input through meetings with residents, businesses, and the Neighborhood Building Advisory Committee. This collaboration ensured the design met local needs.
The school features extended learning areas, breakout rooms, and flexible spaces that support both individual and group learning. Natural lighting and automated controls enhance energy efficiency and create a welcoming atmosphere. Recognized for its sustainability, the project earned LEED Silver Certification.
Their team (AVG) took the time to thoroughly evaluate and fully understand our unique needs, our community’s values, and our joint vision for a learning environment that will serve our students for years to come. Not only are AVG’s designs aesthetically pleasing, but they are also functional and tailored to the unique demands of 21st-century education.
