Education
The New North Charleston Elementary School (NCES), replacing the original one built in 1922, complements and enhances the work of teachers and students. The design and construction provide teachers with physical examples to illustrate sustainable development principles, including daylighting, re-use of materials from the old school, and energy efficiency. It is the state’s first LEED Certified elementary school.
A model of how to apply sustainable development principles, the new school is a “teacher” of sustainable design. The first LEED Certified building in Alabama, the project received a Silver rating.

This 50+ year old school was in dire need of rehabilitation having outdated infastructure and lacking the appropriate learning space and technology to serve the key progrmamatic issues of the 21st century. The best solution was to full gut, rebuild and expand the high school building for a new generation of students.
