LORIS provided full structural engineering services for the new 44,000 square foot, $4.5 million school to house Stargate's 550 student population in their gifted and talented program.   The building consists of two wings pivoted about a link area that includes elevators and stairs.   The classroom wing is constructed of two-story load bearing CMU with steel interior framing and bar joist roof and floor.   The other wing, accessed from the tower entry vestibule, houses the administrative functions, special classrooms, gymnasium and cafeteria.   The structure is particularly cost effective compared to regular school district budgets.

Client: Stargate Charter Foundation.
