San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD)


This new child development center, sharing a site with the city's largest community garden, will be San Francisco's first solar-powered school. The environmentally conscious design concept emerged from an intensive collaboration between 450 Architects, community groups and the San Francisco Unified School District. The new school building incorporates the surrounding gardens and play areas to stretch the concept of a classroom. "Green" building materials and a simple, safe structural system complement the energy-efficient design.
