CLAREMONT ACADEMY

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

After successful completion of three prototype elementary school additions, SMNG A Ltd. was selected as Architect of Record for the new Claremont Academy (originally Anderson Academy). This second generation prototype was refined in consultation with the Managing Architect, Chicago Public Schools and the Public Building Commission of Chicago.

 

This 900 student school includes 38 classrooms, library, gymnatorium, media center, kitchen and dining room. Exterior features include a dynamic, upturned roof and special incised cut stone paving at the entry plaza with concepts designed to stimulate the imagination of students, faculty and parents as they enter the school. Other features of the building include a vegetated green roof.
