Elite Scholars Academy
Work completed at Cooper Carry
This project for the Clayton County Public Schools consists of a new 125,000 sf school building accommodating 700 students. In addition to classroom space, the scope includes two gymnasiums, media center, cafeteria, and kitchen. The design intent is to prepare the students for a life in higher education, with various collegiate banners displayed throughout the campus.
The Story…The landscape design builds on these principles while engaging the students with the landscape and creating outdoor learning environments. Outdoor “quads” are created by framing spaces with not only the architecture but by utilizing plant material as well. A predominately native plant pallet was used throughout the site.
