SCHOOL DESIGN CINCINNATI, OH

(over the rhine neighborhood)

CO-OP Montessori Middle School

N

Historically, Over the Rhine has been a cultural throughway. Single generational flights have left empty visual reminders of the past with no infrastructure to complete the picture. Through incorporation of existing architecture while injecting a cellular school structure onto the site, the design crucially weaves past and present with a community building thread. A school provides the democratic platform to enact holistic education inside classrooms and outside community. A simple cruciform plan composed of the juncture between a ramp, a walkway, balcony and path, gives the site a central gathering space. Grassy mounds protect this heart from the main street while providing interior facing underground classrooms as well as amphitheater seating for outdoor performances.
