Presidio Knolls School underwent current structural standards to provide a multi-purpose space for the growing school. Steel moment frames reinforce the existing wood-framed building and were used as shoring during construction.
In partnership with Studio Bondy, the building was upgraded with modern mechanical and electrical systems, thermal insulation and double-glazed windows which allowed the historic character of the façade was maintained. BŌK Modern implemented nature-inspired, bright green rainscreens symbolic of the surrounding Chinese neighborhood’s context and immersion.
Customized patterns combined with EnFold Façade system’s standards rejuvenate the Presidio Knolls Schools remodeling project. Adding a unique visual treatment along the windows with enhanced security as part of the building’s makeover, EnFold Façade’s panels create dimension, shade, and safety systems as a signature element tying new construction to an existing traditional school building.
