Swift Lee Architects out of LA designed a net zero school for up to 500 students. Construction began in January and the first prototype school should be completed by the end of the year thanks to their utilization of an interchangeable and customizable prefab system.
Insulation skin system to control the interior climate and light. The exterior skin can have a custom design.
The prototype uses a system of sky lights, glass louvers, and reflecting panels to light the entire school, with out the need for traditional lights.
There are 5 variations specifically design to accommodate different scenarios.
A: Multipurpose room with food service
