Red Cedar Elementary School
Beaufort County School District
This new school is designed for 800 students ranging from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade. The design features a two-story wing for second through fifth graders, and a separate one-story wing for pre-kindergarten through first grade. Support spaces including administration, guidance, kitchen / cafeteria, music, multi-purpose / physical education, arts, computer and media center are all contained within the center mass of the building connecting the two classroom wings.

The one story wing also has students grouped by grade level around a pod concept with a discovery center. This discovery center provides direct access to each classroom, as well as serving as a gathering space for group activities, media, science and art instruction. Through these discovery centers, the young students are contained in their own "small social community" which promotes more time on task and limits student anxiety about moving through the school.
