Yorkhill Elementary School - Building

Building

The school, which opened in 1987, was designed to look somewhat different than a typical school, and in someways more like a mall. With a canopied entranceway, sloped roofs, skylights, and ample amounts of art on the walls; the unique design (compared to previously built schools in the area), was done by award winning architect Irving Boigon, and was meant to provide a more open "homelike" atmosphere for students.

Famous quotes containing the word building:

    Marxism is like a classical building that followed the Renaissance; beautiful in its way, but incapable of growth.
    Harold MacMillan (1894–1986)

    I am not building here a statue to erect at the town crossroads, or in a church or a public square.... This is for a nook in a library, and to amuse a neighbor, a relative, a friend, who may take pleasure in associating and conversing with me.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    A publisher is a specialised form of bank or building society, catering for customers who cannot cope with life and are therefore forced to write about it.
    Colin Haycraft (b. 1929)
