The design for an extension to the Robbins Elementary School addresses not just the functional demands of the brief but also its interaction with its neighborhood, thus further weaving the school into its immediate context.

The Building
The project articulates itself around the existing historic school building as it extends towards a new green space positioned on the southern edge of the proposed site.
This space is seen as an outdoor resource for the school as well a potential fragment within a system of small parks in the neighborhood.
