Mission: Create a high quality facility for the Rise School to best support their endeavor of providing early childhood education services to children of differing abilities.

Approach: The 18,000 SF Sally and Mack Brown Rise School of Austin is being designed to correlate varied space characteristics with students’ needs. Classrooms and learning spaces for 80 students are designed to meet the specialized needs of young learners with differing abilities while preparing them for successful transition to a conventional elementary school campus. The plan includes flexible common areas and indoor/outdoor space for multi-use functionality, maximizing the opportunities for student and parent involvement.
