From the 2024 Educational Interiors Showcase: Crofton High School

The design of Crofton High School in Gambrills, Maryland, embraces nature to provide students with an inspirational and flexible learning environment. An organic frit pattern reminiscent of leaves falling to the ground is screen-printed on the glass curtain wall. As the sun shines through the glass, the pattern reflects on the floor while reducing solar heat gain. Within the lobby, custom-designed, backlit perforated panels illuminate a view of the forest. Natural light and ventilation are maximized within the primary learning environments; nearly every window offers views of the surrounding forest.
