Mary Jackson Elementary School

Mary Jackson Elementary School is an innovative creation rooted in the spatial verbs "offset" and "extrude," optimizing every inch of its compact site. The offset technique carves dynamic, interconnected spaces within limited confines, creating inviting courtyards and green nooks for outdoor learning and recreation. Extruding volumes skyward forms multi-level structures accommodating classrooms, offices, and collaborative areas, with vertical gardens enhancing air quality and terraces providing dynamic playgrounds and gardens. This design harmonizes with urban landscapes, showcasing how innovative educational environments can thrive in confined spaces and inspire urban revitalization.
