John C. Locke Elementary

Chicago, IL

Chicago Public Schools

New two-story addition of masonry and steel construction containing 13 classrooms, administrative offices, multipurpose room, kitchen and servery.

design solutions:

Generous paved concrete courts at building entry points improve the safety of students entering and exiting the building. The front court also serves the school's occasional need for an outdoor forum. Three-level link and hydraulic elevator provide handicap accessibility for both the addition and main buildings.
