Opening of the new Rawlins Elementary school, Rawlins, Wyoming
MOA would like to thank Carbon County School District #1, the educators and staff and the city of Rawlins, Wyoming on the opening of the new Rawlins Elementary school.
- Casper, WY (1888PressRelease) March 10, 2011 - MOA ARCHITECTURE announces the completion and opening of the new Rawlins Elementary School Complex. MOA worked in partnership with Carbon County School District No. 1 and the Rawlins Community to create a 21st century learning community which promotes cultural growth and respect, recognizes and accommodates differing learning styles and integrates technology into a sustainable learning environment.
The new elementary school will serve approximately 750 children in grades 2 through 5, with future expansion plans to add grades K-1. The school's buildings design and site orientation were developed to minimize the aspects of the site's pervasive wind, and to fit into the natural topography. Its form and design elements take cues from the nearby geologic Rawlins uplift formation, while apertures frame views of Elk Mountain and other unique vistas.
Green practices include significant daylighting, passive solar measures, geo-exchange mechanical system, and use of sustainable/renewable resources.
