WELLS MIDDLE
SCHOOL
NEW MATH/SCIENCE BUILDING
DUBLIN, CALIFORNIA
The program was to add a 40,000 S.F. Math/Science Building and a 17,000 S.F. High School/City Joint-Use Gymnasium on an existing site shared by a middle school and a special program high school.
Due to the restricted site, the Math/Science Building needed to accommodate its program in a two-story building that was visually sympathetic to the existing single story campus and the predominantly single story houses in the neighborhood. This was accomplished by matching the eave and corner heights of the adjacent existing classroom buildings and disguising the second story under a large roof form. Dormer windows were used to bring in light to the second floor classrooms as well as break up the large roof mass.
Concrete masonry units were used for their color, textured and patterned appearance, durability and long term reduction of masonry costs.
