Casey Middle School - LEED Platinum
Located in the heart of Boulder, Saunders completed the demolition and new construction of this middle school. In order to preserve the history of the school, the original 1924 facade was restored and reused for the new school. The 106,000 sf school now offers a state-of-the-art and environmentally friendly facility providing an optimum learning environment for 600 students. Up to 90% of the school is heated through geothermal pumps and is currently seeking LEED Platinum Certification.
The school includes 34 instructional classrooms, athletics facilities, central commons area, library, auditorium, cafeteria, roof garden, and photo voltaic (solar) panels providing a shelter for bicycle racks. In order to maximize the outdoor space for student activities the school includes a 35-car underground parking garage.
