Edward Smith Elementary is more than a school it is a safe, helpful place for the whole community. Ed Smith is constantly adapting to the changing needs of the community. Ed Smith was one of the first inclusive schools in the nation, and now they are taking on 7th and 8th grades in addition to their already established K-6. Ed Smith has communicated that while keeping architectural integrity intact; they need reorganization of classrooms, improved circulation, and necessary additions to the gym, cafeteria, and auditorium. It is evident that Ed Smith has an important role in the community and an innate connection to nature. It was most important to create a connection between education, community, and nature throughout Edward Smith Elementary.

As the children learn and grow at Edward Smith Elementary School their development is represented aesthetically by the changing seasons. Kindergarten through second grade represent spring as a new beginning followed by summer ( 3rd - 4th grades), then fall (5th - 6th grades), ending in winter (7th -8th grades) where they are ready to begin another chapter of their education.

The green atrium is a very important addition to Ed Smith. The Atrium is where education and nature connect. The library and some second level classrooms overlook the atrium. It provides cleaner air quality for the students while new solar panels and rainwater systems educate and provide the students with energy efficiency. A designated classroom is located in the atrium for teachers to break away from the typical classroom setting.

Timber framing methods allow for mobile systems construction. Systems construction makes it easy for vendors to create interesting and interactive exhibition booths that communicate their products and ideas to their clients.
The Timber Framer’s Guild, Inc., exhibition booth provides an informational and interactive look at timber framing. The ADA accessible booth emphasizes the comfort you feel when you walk inside a timber frame home and provides a hands on look at custom joinery that makes timber frames so durable. On the exterior of the booth are two rock climbing walls that create interaction where participants contribute to reforestation. On the interior are interactive televisions that help you locate a timber framer near you, and information on timber frames and other ways to keep your new home sustainable and energy efficient.

Geography changes design. Designing in different locations around the world provides challenges based on climate. This home is created with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind. In the desert the sun is a key element in everyday life. This house is positioned to absorb daylight in order to release warmth into the home during the night. The sun can be harnessed as a tool for energy efficiency.
