Samuel Powel School Rennovation

Spring 2019

Professor: Jon Coddington

The Samuel Powel School Addition/Rennovation focuses on adjusting the facilities and making much needed improvements in order to accomodate the expansion of the program from a K-4 School into K-8 with a public neighborood oriented library, gym, and cafeteria open on weekends. The school is designed to echo the language and scale of the surrounding community in terms of being broken up into separate sections which both reflect the interior function of the building, as well as the smaller scale of surrounding architecture. Furthermore, the building also attempts to use a somewhat loose and adapted version of classicism which expresses the concrete structure of the building, as well as its function as an institutional building in a traditional neighborood.
