Barack & Michelle Obama
9th Grade Center
Lancaster, Texas
Summer 2018
Exciting renovation to convert an old elementary school into a new Ninth Grade Center for 650 students. The makeover provides an updated and modern facility with a collegiate feel as students transition from middle school to high school. The use of expansive operable doors creates space for multiple, spontaneous uses, and provides a collaborative environment.
