The project was recognized as an outstanding design in the Elementary Schools category.
The city of Springfield, Massachusetts, sought to consolidate a small school built in 1898 with an antiquated school that was inadequate as a learning environment.

The school has become a source of civic pride for its neighborhood and a true community center.
