From the 2024 Architectural Portfolio: Sandy Run Middle School

The project was recognized for its outstanding design in the Middle Schools category.
Feb. 20, 2025

Sandy Run Middle School in Dresher, Pennsylvania, is built on a gradually sloping site bordered to the south by the Sandy Run Creek. The academic wing runs parallel to it, and collaborative areas on each floor provide views of the creek. The school is divided into a three-story academic wing and a one-story shared-use wing.  A circular planetarium anchors the western edge of the courtyard. Science labs, special education classrooms and smaller collaboration zones are equally dispersed on all three floors. Access between the academic wing and the public/shared-use wing occurs at the middle level.
