San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD)
450 Architects, in conjunction with Levy Design Partners, was chosen to provide a new science and
technology wing for an existing high school at the top of San Francisco’s Sunset district.
The project will also include major accessibility and fire/life safety upgrades, improving the
hazardous and inadequate facilities that are currently in use by the school’s 2,500 students.
Having already provided the SFUSD with the first solar powered school in the district
(Argonne Child Development Center), 450 Architects has raised the bar for Lincoln High School:
the goal for the new science wing is to be the first LEED Certified public school building in
San Francisco. The naturally day-lit building will take advantage of the prevalent sea breezes
for passive cooling, thereby reducing the building’s total energy requirements to the bare minimum.
A gently sloping green roof doubling as a student play field has been proposed to transition from
one level of the terracing site to the next.
