Set within a 20-acre picturesque site on the edge of a wetland preserve, Eagle Creek Academy’s facility emphasizes the surrounding natural features. Natural light and geothermal heating cooling systems make this 250-student K-8 school an extension of it’s environment. Each classroom has a view of the wetland, access to an outdoor deck that runs along the back of the building, a storage zone, kitchenette, student workstations, document cameras and large plasma monitors. Exposed wood ceilings are present in every classroom as well as the gymnasium, cafeteria and media center. The media center’s form, timber structure, transparent enclosure, trunk-like wood columns and wood trusses are the focal point of the exterior design and main entrance.
