Chisum Middle School

The building is zoned with the active academic areas on the south side of the site. The passive academic areas form a wing to the north side of the site. Circulation is defined by a pair of double loaded corridors that run the length of the classroom wing and a main corridor that extends through the building from the entry. The roof at the classroom corridor was raised for clerestory windows, bringing natural light into the corridor space. Finishes in the corridor and public spaces include terrazzo tile, ceramic wall tile and stained plywood.The exterior of the building was designed to resemble the materials and masonry patterning in the existing high school and elementary school.
