Informal study spaces at each end of The Bush School new Upper School corridor feature exposed wood structure, abundant daylight and expansive views, creating a biophilic experience that supports student health and well-being. Classrooms are designed for agile learning with moveable furniture and white boards positioned for student-directed exploration and ideation throughout the space.

The new Bush School upper campus expansion pays respect to the school’s historic Gracemont academic building (visible in the foreground) in materiality, massing and siting. This modern interpretation of a masonry and wood structure leverages mass timber elements to create an efficient, low-carbon building for the next 100 years. The project is targeting Passive House and net-zero energy certifications. 📷: @laraswimmer
