It's one thing to
throw down a prototype school on the open prairie, it's another to design and
construct a new elementary school on an existing occupied school site in an
established urban neighborhood. In this presentation attendees gained insight
as to the site and building planning, security, phasing and construction
considerations, regulatory issues and educational opportunities of designing a
new elementary school constructed onsite with an existing operational school
that it is to replace.

| The new Bammel
Elementary School for Spring Independent School District was built in a 14
month timeframe on the exiting 9-acre site and designed to allow for continuous
uninterrupted occupancy of the existing school during construction while
incorporating an existing building into the new campus, the Districts'
educational curriculum, energy efficient systems and natural daylighting.
