Hellen Caro Elementary School

This project provides a new, 90,588 SF school which accommodates 794 students. The facility includes science and computer labs; closed circuit television systems; music and art studios; and a multi-purpose physical education structure.

Careful design attention was given to establishing a spatial and structural scale that relates to elementary school aged children. The building configuration, orientation, and placement are carefully integrated with existing site features and vegetation. Visual and spatial indoor/outdoor integration is optimized throughout the school to bring the natural beauty of the Northwest Florida setting into the dynamic of the architecture.

Testimonial

“Due to Bullock-Tice Associates planning and control of this extremely aggressive design and construction schedule, both projects were completed on time and of better than expected quality. The key to Bullock Tice Associates success was their responsiveness from beginning to end, their ability to plan and manage critical activities that impact design and construction critical path schedule, and their ability to design as much value into each project as possible.”

-- Ronald F. Peacock, Director Facilities Planning, The School District of Escambia County
