Text description provided by the architects. Located amidst the Ozark Mountains in the small agricultural community of Green Forest, Arkansas this two-story middle school roots itself in the heart of the existing public school campus. We recognized the importance of the existing central greenspace as a common area, used throughout the day as a gathering place for middle school and high school students during lunch and before and after school. Furthermore, it is a transitional space consistently traversed by all students and members of the community to access the community stadium. The space acts as a plaza between the old CWA gymnasium, art + music, cafeteria, and agricultural buildings on the campus.
