As the program and student population continued to grow, Excel Academy Charter School recognized the need for an increased capacity and flexible spaces. As a building hosting K-8 students, the new addition would soon offer a place for middle school aged students to call their own and mark the milestone of transitioning into another phase of student life while also creating an environment where students of all ages and experiences can come together to learn on a daily basis. The new addition seamlessly blends with the existing building on the exterior, and subtly incorporates the school colors throughout the interior while updating the look and feel. Daylight fills the new learning spaces, including the two-story entry that brings natural lighting into the existing walled in rooms.
