The Huntington Park Elementary School provides 26 classrooms, administrative offices, a cafetorium/ kitchen and a library. The entire school sits above subterranean parking that accommodates 73 cars. During site planning and analysis, specific attention was made to minimize impact to the existing traffic, reducing construction costs significantly. An efficient layout maximized the potential of the small, tight 4.2 acre urban site. The campus shares a joint use program with the city's Park and Recreation Department. The design firm was able to use this as an opportunity to provide amenities that could be enjoyed by both the school and the community at large. Outdoor spaces were conceived using visual surveillance and age appropriate groupings.
