Program: Solar Preparatory School for Girls

BWA Architects has worked with the District on planning, design, documentation, and construction administration of the Solar Preparatory K-8 STEAM School at Dallas ISD. Solar Prep is an all-girls STEAM Academy providing spaces for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. In addition, the school features a learning stair for informal and group learning while transparent spaces allow for learning on display. A robotics lab opens into the communal spaces, creating a more collegiate learning environment, and the outdoor learning area offers students out-of-the-box education. The project includes a storm shelter incorporated into the design of the cafeteria, with overhead rolling doors that secure the building in case of extreme weather conditions.

Jenny Bierut, Director of Planning and Communication, BWA Architects
