Samuel Brighouse Elementary School

The two-storey 4,777 square meter structure includes classrooms, administration space, a library, community space, and a renovated gymnasium. Integral Group delivered mechanical engineering services for this project.

The design reflects the school district’s goal of transparency, collaborative learning, and connecting to nature and the community. A wide range of environmental design strategies include displacement ventilation, daylight harvesting combined with solar shading, and use of a well-insulated building envelope, fiberglass frame, triple-glazed classroom windows, aluminum curtain wall, and VOC-free interior finishes.
