April 21, 2023

South Florida Autism Charter School in Hialeah is dedicated to providing education and therapeutic services to individuals in Miami-Dade or Broward counties diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. The two-story classroom facility is part of a five-acre, suburban campus that serves 400 K-12 students and individuals up to 21 years of age. The school’s plan is organized along a central circulation spine that connects administrative, social, and therapeutic program elements with the linear, two-story classroom wing. A linear outdoor recreation space provides a layer of separation from the busy roadway to the building’s south. Both the internal simplicity of the plan organization and external forms create a physical environment centered on clarity and flexibility.
