CRITIQUE - “This is a model for ailing metropolitan areas that suffer the ills of deteriorating urban schools and sprawl. Today the 16-acre project fills the surroundings with a collection of buildings wrapped around a courtyard. Bright rooms blending open space and closure flow from one to the next. Outside, the peaked roofs give the complex the sense of a child’s village, while the planted inner courtyard and larger playing fields endow the center – and the community – with a sense of connection to nature and the outdoors.”
Jane Holtz Kay, architecture critic for The Nation and author of Asphalt Nation
