Davidson
Elementary School
Davidson, North Carolina
Located at the urban periphery of the city of Charlotte, the Davidson community formed a vision of their new elementary school. The Adams Group accommodated that vision by creating an appropriate learning environment that meets the aspirations of the community. The central design concept was to translate educational objectives into a responsive solution. Team teaching, small group interaction areas, and outdoor learning were all determining factors. Displaying the students work was achieved by creating an art spine connecting visual arts and media center to the classroom wings. This space is available to both students and community artists for exhibit area. The result of the participatory process with children and teachers was reflected in an unconventional school building where atria, southern orientation, bright cold colors, and outdoor learning areas are all incorporated into the building form.
