Kramer Elementary

Oxford, OH

Project Description

Kramer Elementary’s close proximity to a world-class university has resulted in an extremely diverse mix of students and faculty. Amazingly, 27 different countries and 19 languages are represented on campus, a vast difference from the average Ohio school. With an equally-diverse design committee, we listened carefully and incorporated cultural-specific design elements in spaces.

This unique school was designed to be a safe, healthy and energy efficient learning environment with appropriate life cycle costs. The facility is designed with the ability to easily add classrooms in the future while making the best possible education decision and solution for the students.
