FM Arc Design is currently working on a new construction elementary school for Bright Star Schools that recently obtained CUP approval with the City of Los Angeles. The new Valor Elementary School will share the site of a historic 1920’s house and was designed to preserve the house while providing a new, two-story school with ample outdoor learning space. The historic house will be used for administrative offices and the orchard will be preserved. The classroom building features outdoor, covered walkways and a central courtyard area for play. A gymnasium/MPR with a large overhang will be used for functions and as the servery for student meals. Additionally the school design pays respect to the surrounding residential neighborhood.
