CLIENT: ST. TAMMANY PARISH SCHOOL BOARD LOCATION: MAGNOLIA TRACE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Greenleaf Architects and Domain Architecture further showcase their team’s skills working in St. Tammany Parish through their ongoing work with the School Board. The Joint Venture was awarded a 48-classroom, 64,000-square-foot building addition to their campus with a construction value of $16 Million for upgrades, and perceived student body growth.
The team at Greenleaf and Domain have worked very closely with the school and the School Board to fill the needs of the 2nd and 3rd graders, and the administration of this district within St. Tammany Parish. The project involves construction phasing on an active campus, and coordinating existing classroom demolition with new classroom construction to ensure an uninterrupted learning environment.
The new building features 48 classrooms, bold wayfinding solutions across all hallway flooring, colorful stairwells and restrooms, a state-of-the-art media center, and more! In existing areas, renovations encompass a refreshed administration area (with the addition of bold wayfinding flooring solutions that extend into all hallways), an updated cafetorium, and a newly designed music room – spotlighted by an ADA-friendly stage for in-class learning and performances. To come, the final wing of classrooms will be built, as well as the definition of the courtyard – with its three outdoor learning spaces, to complete the campus.
