MSD is an incredible toddler through middle school age private school in Denver that needed to grow but they didn't want to leave their campus. We were hired to work closely with school staff and teachers to analyze their existing spaces and plan for their future needs to see if we could accommodate a larger student body on their current campus.
Phase 1 of the implementation of MSD's new Master Plan includes renovations to two buildings. Their front office moved into a larger space, leaving room for a temporary smaller library. The lower elementary program was able to expand to take up the remaining space. Working with ideas of thresholds and curiosity, we developed a design strategy for creating spaces that play with scale and imagination, reuses as much of the existing school as possible.
