Carrington Elementary School - "Mountain Top"
Waterbury, Connecticut
• 75,000 square feet
• Capacity: 550 students in Grades PreK-8
Located atop Waterbury's Bunker Hill, the new school's rooflines mimic the peaks and valleys of the City's rolling hills and distant mountains. Contextually similar to its surroundings and integrated into the neighborhood, the school takes design cues from the adjacent residential development. The interior space divides activities and age groups - with loud, active areas located away from quiet, learning spaces; and older students separated from younger ones.
