Clovis / Education Village

Clovis, California2018 · Competition / Selected proposal

A competition proposal for a $300 million education village bringing elementary, middle, and high school programs together with athletics and a central library. PBK was awarded the project following the competition.

My contribution

I served as design lead for the competition proposal, developing a campus-wide design that connected the schools, shared learning spaces, landscape, and athletics.

How can several schools belong to one connected learning community?

A shared center

The central hub organizes a campus of distinct schools. Its position gives the village a common point of reference while allowing the individual programs to occupy their own parts of the plan.

Learning across levels

The interior and sectional studies explore circulation, gathering, and visual connections between floors as part of the shared learning environment.

A complete campus

Athletic facilities, outdoor spaces, and clear points of arrival extend the village beyond its classrooms. The proposal brings these elements into one coordinated campus plan.
