Project Description:
Liberty Magnet School is located on State Route 510 in
Sebastian, Florida and is part of the International Baccalaureate
Programming.
The school is oriented to take advantage of Natural Breezes and
topography. The entrance is a commanding 2 story semi-circular feature
which connects as a visual link to the auditorium and cafetorium.
Approximately 60% of the School is single story, the remainder a
mixture of 2 story volumes and single story with clear story features.
The classroom pods are stand-alone structures attached to the main
school with glass ethereal links. Wherever possible natural daylight
is allowed into internal corridors from high level to create a pleasant
bright environment. The Art Building, Multi-Purpose and Covered
PE are stand-alone structures all inter connected to the Main Campus
via covered walkways. A standing seam metal roof was chosen to accentuate
the multi-level facilities, but also in an effort to harmonize with
the surrounding residential neighborhood.
A steel pedestrian bridge links the campus to it s surrounding separated
by a canal. The School incorporates wireless technology in all classrooms,
security is provided by acard readersystem and the air conditioning
system throughout is chilled water with ice storage. The current
occupancy is 520 Student Stations, but the core facilities are designed
to accommodate 784 stations. |
