commentAward of Merit, K-12 Education: nex+Gen Academy - Albuquerque Public Schools
This LEED-Silver, 46,894-sq-ft autonomous school-within-a-school follows an educational philosophy that combines small school principles and collaborative, project-based learning with an emphasis on technology. The building facade presents elements of solid masses that are a result of folded wall planes. These are further juxtaposed with transparent glass elements in the form of storefront windows, providing a professional atmosphere that imitates the modern workplace yet has references to conventional school design. Technology skills are incorporated into every lesson, preparing students for college and careers.
