Susan B. Anthony Elementary School is situated on a portion of the upper level playground of an existing middle school. The relatively small parcel (approximately three acres) necessitated a two story configuration for the 600 fifth and sixth graders who utilize the school. The site layout, conceived to be independent of the adjacent campus below, features an elliptical entry drive for bus and auto drop-off in front of a large open plaza for student gatherings. This 44,000 square foot facility was conceived to blend with the townhomes of the surrounding neighborhoods and the fulfill the District's desire to build a modern version of an 'old red brick schoolhouse.' To this end the structure features dormer windows that break up the roof line and pale red concrete masonry wall construction.
