To support growing enrollment and improve academic outcomes, Beaumont USD embraced a K-8 education model for its new Summerwind School. Our design creates separation between the upper academic campus and lower athletic campus. The administration building anchors the academic area while classroom buildings, gym, and food service building are situated around a central park where students of all grade levels come together. This central park is the green belt of the campus that ties all building structures together.

A single-entry point from the administration building ensures safety for all on campus. Academic buildings feature a direct connection from classrooms and flex-labs into the collaboration areas for maximum flexibility. The storefront system between collaboration and courtyard brings in natural lighting and promotes transparency, providing a sense of supervision for these spaces as well.
