This innovative classroom building in El Cerrito is one of the greenest learning spaces in Northern California, saving energy and providing a high performance and healthy learning environment for its K-8 student population. This new 14,000-sq-ft addition provides seven classrooms, a library and lobby for an adjacent gymnasium.
The design of the classroom building fulfills Windrush School’s commitment to its students, educators and community to provide a building that makes living green a tangible lesson of sustainability. It is 97% more energy-efficient and prevents the release of 38 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually than a building of comparable size and function and will save the school nearly $16,000 per year in utility bills.
