Tri County Elementary School
The Tri-County Area Schools’ 2019 bond program aimed to create a unified K-12 community campus by consolidating three existing schools into one. The new building features three wings, symbolizing collaboration among the counties.
Designed to provide students with abundant opportunities for growth, the school includes a dedicated STEM room, arts programs, and more.
A key design principle was maximizing natural light, which is most prominently showcased in the media center at the heart of the school. This space features 35 windows, flooding the room with natural light and enhancing the environment.
