Washington Heights Elementary School
Fort Worth, TX
Summer 2016
A new replacement school designed for 500 students in grades Pre-K-5. Located near Meacham Airport, one of the original school’s most distinguishing features is that it was under ground. The new school is a two-story structure on the north end of the site with the public areas oriented south, facing the main entrance. Deep porches and shading devices on the south shade the high summer sun yet allow the low winter sun to reach the glass to help heat the interior during cold weather.
