Winner of School of the Year for excellence in architectural design, SSOE received top honors for its work from the Tennessee School Boards Association.
The Maury County School District selected SSOE to program and design a new middle school and overall campus, complete with athletic fields.
Utilizing a building plan that will readily accommodate growth, the new middle school features a state-of-the art media center / library, computer, art and music classrooms, and a gymnasium with a seating capacity of 1,200. The facility also has a separate auditorium, located adjacent to the cafeteria / multi-purpose space with full service kitchen, to provide an extended lobby reception area for large school or public events.
The Maplewood Elementary School replaces a 1920s, three story K-5 facility which was in deteriorating condition, lacked accessibility, was undersized in total, and was expensive to maintain and operate. It’s presence in the community and the neighborhood closely knit around it, was going to be truly missed in terms of its scale and articulated historical design. The new facility had to fill this void and replace it with a new presence, twice the size, which still respected scale, community, and function along with being highly efficient in terms of energy costs and operation.
This prominently sited, five-story structure ties the USC traditional campus to its new urban “innovista” research campus. The facility supports programs in engineering, technology, scientific research, and industrial development of alternative energy sources.
Savage Arena, located in the heart of the University of Toledo’s main campus, has been renovated and expanded to transform the arena into a state-of-the-art facility for student athletes and fans.
