The new LEED Gold learning commons and library provides more flexible, collaborative faculty-student group space, individual quiet study areas, and greater access to technology. Another special feature is the green design that reflects the school’s concern for our earth’s resources. Heating and cooling is supplied by a geothermal system, rain water is directed to rain gardens and absorbed on a vegetation roof, and overall the building will save energy and produce fewer carbon emissions.
Bowie Gridley Architects was also selected to design a new athletic center for George School, which is currently well under construction.
