Barbara C. Jordan Elementary School

Natural daylight and sustainable design shine in this school building.

Barbara Jordan Elementary exhibits several distinctive design features, including the two-story library which serves as the heart of the school with plenty of seating options for flexible learning. Classrooms for each grade level are outfitted with a central ‘gathering pod’ for group learning. Each pod is unified by a color that is carried throughout the spaces for its grade level
