Case Study
HANAWALT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
A very challenging site but successful solution for a major expansion & renovation to an existing elementary school in an established residential neighborhood. The existing plan had suffered from a previous insensitive addition but our concept tied the whole plan together; resulting in a stronger school community.

“Bob is a very creative architect with great communication skills. He worked well to hear what parents, teachers, students, school district and city officials all wanted in our remodeling project. Bob was especially good at blending the historical aspect of our school with a new addition.”
